Product Details
This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures 0.040 inches thick and has an 85mm bore, specifically designed for the M42 and M44 engines found in your BMW 318i, 318is, 318ti, and Z3 models from the early 90s through the late 90s.
MLS gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. They work well with both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, effectively handling the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating on the outer layers can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments.
The center layer of this gasket is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements. This particular gasket is designed for a precise fit on the specified BMW models, ensuring reliable performance for your engine rebuild or repair.
