Cometic BMW M20 2.0L/2.3L 81mm .027 inch MLS Head Gasket 320/320i/520

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the M20 engine in your 1977-1979 BMW 320i, this gasket is designed to provide a solid seal for your cylinder head. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion and shearing forces, especially important when mating different block and head materials like aluminum to cast iron.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a tight seal even under demanding conditions. The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.027 inches, and the gasket has an 81mm bore, matching the specifications for the M20 2.0L and 2.3L engines found in those early 320i models. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
