Cometic BMW M54 2.5L/2.8L 85mm .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for creating dependable sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for a range of BMW vehicles equipped with the M54 2.5L or 2.8L engine, such as the 325i, 525i, and X5 models. This gasket plays a crucial role in keeping your engine's combustion chambers sealed, preventing coolant and oil from mixing and ensuring proper compression.

This MLS gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in harsh sealing environments. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.040 inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket. These gaskets are ideal for applications with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. They also don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
