Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1991-1998 BMW 318i, 318is, 318ti, or Z3 with an M42 or M44 engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This combination makes it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation. The compressed thickness is a precise 0.098 inches, with an 85mm bore designed for your specific engine.

Cometic's MLS design is a popular choice for engines that see a lot of use, offering a durable sealing solution that can withstand the pressures and heat generated during operation.
