Cometic BMW M20 2.0L/2.3L 81mm .075 inch MLS Head Gasket 320/320i/520

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness is 0.075 inches, designed to provide maximum sealing performance for your M20 engine. MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications with aluminum heads paired with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and performing reliably in demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements. This gasket requires no additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
