Cometic Gasket BMW M10B18/M10B20 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 90mm Bore

The outer layers of this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This is important because it helps create a reliable seal between your engine block and cylinder head, even under high operating temperatures. This gasket is specifically made for BMW M10B18 and M10B20 engines, featuring a 90mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches, which is a common size for these engines.

MLS head gaskets are well-built for demanding conditions. They use multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, and they're designed to handle the shearing forces that can occur when mating different metals, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. Because they're designed to seal well on their own, you typically won't need to use any additional sealants when installing this gasket, making the job a bit more straightforward.

This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your 1972-1974 BMW 2002. It's designed to provide a strong seal for engines that see regular use.
