Cometic BMW 1766/1990cc 72-88 90mm .120 inch MLS Head Gasket M10 Engine

Starting with a .120 inch compressed thickness, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built for the specific demands of your BMW M10 engine. It's designed to handle the higher output engines found in performance applications, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block. This gasket is suitable for pairings of aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it's engineered to manage the shearing forces that can arise from dissimilar metals.

The construction features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is crucial for maintaining a seal in harsh environments and under various load conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control, and this particular gasket is set at 0.120 inches compressed thickness with a 90mm bore, matching the specifications for your 1766cc or 1990cc M10 engine.

Because it's an MLS gasket with the Viton coating, you won't need to use any additional sealants during installation, simplifying the process. This makes it a reliable choice for rebuilding your top end or addressing any head gasket issues on your 1972-1974 BMW 2002, 2000, or 2000tii.
