Cometic Saab B205/B235 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 91mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2000-2009 Saab 9-3, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of modern engines, ensuring a strong seal without needing extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum and cast iron. This design helps prevent leaks and withstands the forces created when different metals are used together. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to achieve different compressed heights; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 91mm, with an overall thickness of .040 inches before compression.
