Cometic Gasket BMW M116/M118 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 86mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is no exception. It's specifically made for the 1977 and 1978 BMW 320i, featuring an 86mm bore and a .080-inch thickness. This gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, ensuring proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the engine block and cylinder head.

This MLS gasket uses three to five layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to 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). This coating helps the gasket conform to different surface finishes and maintain a strong seal even under tough operating conditions.
