Cometic BMW S50B30/S52B32 US ONLY 87mm .070 inch MLS Head Gasket M3/Z3 92-99

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-1999 BMW M3, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of performance engines like the S50B30US and S52B32 found in these cars.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for 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). This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, providing a strong seal even with dissimilar metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this specific gasket set at a compressed operating thickness of .070 inches and an 87mm bore to match your engine.

This gasket is specifically for US-spec engines. It's a well-built component designed for reliable performance in your M3 or Z3.
