Cometic BMW 1766/1990cc 72-88 90mm .140 inch MLS Head Gasket M10 Engine

Built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket features a compressed operating thickness of 0.140 inches. This construction is ideal for high-output engines and can handle the demands of sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F, ensuring a reliable seal in harsh conditions and on various surface finishes.

The multi-layer stainless steel design not only adds strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion, making it a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your BMW M10 engine. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this specific gasket set to 0.140 inches. Because it's a well-built MLS gasket, it requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket is designed to fit a range of BMW M10 engines, commonly found in models like the BMW 2002, 320i, and 1800. It's a well-made component that contributes to reliable engine performance.
