Cometic BMW M54 2.5L/2.8L 85mm .080 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for BMW M54 engines, specifically the 2.5L and 2.8L displacements. It features an 85mm bore and a compressed thickness of .080 inches, designed to provide a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. This gasket is a popular choice for rebuilding or repairing the top end of a wide range of BMW vehicles, including models like the 325i, 330i, 525i, and X5.

What you get here is a well-built gasket comprised of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction not only offers excellent sealing performance for high-output engines but also resists corrosion and can handle the shearing forces that occur when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. Because it's a multi-layer steel design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
