Cometic Saab B205/B235 91mm Bore .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're working on the top end of your 2000-2009 Saab 9-3, specifically with the B205 or B235 engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice for sealing the combustion chamber. It's built to handle the demands of modern engines and doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket is constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This combination is ideal for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the stresses that arise from different metal expansion rates. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches after installation.
