What is a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket?

A multi-layer steel head gasket uses several layers of steel bonded together to create a strong and durable seal. This construction is particularly effective at handling the high pressures and temperatures found in performance or rebuilt engines.

Why would I need a special head gasket for a power-adder application?

Engines with added boost or other power enhancements generate significantly higher combustion pressures and temperatures. A standard head gasket might not be able to withstand these extreme conditions, leading to leaks or failure. This Wiseco MLS gasket is built to handle those increased demands.

Does this gasket come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required hardware and any additional components needed for proper installation.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1987-1988 BMW M6, especially if you're adding more power, a strong cylinder head gasket is crucial. This multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket from Wiseco is built to handle the intense pressures and heat that can develop between an aluminum cylinder head and an iron engine block. It's designed to keep everything sealed up tight, preventing leaks and ensuring your engine runs smoothly.

Wiseco uses a 5-layer steel-laminate construction for this gasket, which is known for its ability to withstand high sheer forces. The internal embossments are designed to expand with heat, creating an even tighter seal as your engine gets hot and combustion pressures rise. This makes it a solid choice for engines that are pushed harder than stock, particularly those with power-adder applications.

This gasket measures 95 mm bore and has a thickness of .070 inches, with 5 layers of steel. It's made to fit your specific M6 model, ensuring a direct fit during installation.
