Cometic BMW M20 2.5L/2.7L 85mm .060 inch MLS-5 Head Gasket 325i/525i

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction results in a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches, designed to provide maximum sealing for high-output engines. It's well-suited for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel design, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements, like this 0.060 inch version for specific BMW M20 engines.

This gasket fits a range of BMW models including the 325i, 325is, 525i, and 528e. It's designed for a direct fit and requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation.
