Cometic Gasket BMW N14B16A/N14B16C/N18B16A/N18B16C .048in MLX Cylinder Head Gasket - 78mm Bore

This is the Cometic Gasket MLX cylinder head gasket, designed with a 78mm bore and a compressed thickness of .048 inches. It's built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Mini Cooper and Jaguar XK series. This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers featuring a Viton rubber coating for enhanced sealing performance.

The Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed outer layers coated with Viton can withstand high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements. Because it's a well-built MLS gasket, it doesn't require additional sealants for installation.
