Cometic Mercedes 92-05 M120-V12 90mm .051in MLS Head Gasket RHS

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. This gasket is built for the demanding M120 and M297 V12 engines found in various Mercedes-Benz models from the early 90s through the early 2000s. It's specifically for the right-hand side of the engine and has a 90mm bore with a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches. These gaskets are designed to handle the high output these large displacement V12s can produce without needing any extra sealants.

What makes these MLS gaskets so effective is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and helps them resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes. This combination ensures a reliable seal between aluminum heads and blocks, or even aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, by accommodating the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different requirements, though this specific gasket is set at 0.051 inches compressed.

This gasket is a strong option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of your Mercedes V12. It's designed to fit right and perform reliably in high-output applications, making it a popular choice for these powerful engines.
