Cometic Gasket BMW M42B18/M44B19 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 85mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is no exception. It's specifically made for the BMW M42B18 and M44B19 engines found in models like the 1991-1998 318i, 1991-1997 318is, 1995-1999 318ti, and 1996-1998 Z3. A properly sealing head gasket is crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly, preventing coolant and oil from mixing and maintaining compression.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are treated with a Viton rubber coating on both sides. Viton is known for its heat resistance, handling temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for the demanding environment within an engine. This construction helps ensure a strong seal across different sealing conditions and surface finishes.

This particular gasket has an 85mm bore and is .030 inches thick, designed to fit specific engine configurations. When rebuilding or replacing your cylinder head gasket, using a well-made component like this from Cometic can make a significant difference in the longevity and performance of your engine.
