Cometic BMW S50B30/S52B32 US ONLY 87mm .140 inch MLS Head Gasket M3/Z3 92-99

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed specifically for the US-spec S50B30 and S52B32 engines found in your 1995-1999 BMW M3 and 1998-2000 BMW Z3. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.140 inches and an 87mm bore, this gasket is engineered to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines.

MLS head gaskets are a solid choice because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. They're also great for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because they're designed for precise sealing, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
