Cometic BMW M20 2.5L/2.7L 85mm .080 inch MLS Head Gasket 325i/525i

If you're working on a BMW M20 engine, specifically the 2.5L or 2.7L variants found in models like the 325i, 325e, or 525i, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice. It's designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

This gasket is well-built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving 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), making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The compressed operating thickness is 0.080 inches with an 85mm bore, designed to meet the demands of higher output engines without needing additional sealants.

Cometic MLS head gaskets are known for their ability to rebound and resist shearing forces, which is important when mating different metal types like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. This gasket is a direct fit for a range of BMW models from the early 80s through the early 90s, ensuring you get the right part for your specific application.
