What makes a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket different from a composite gasket?

MLS gaskets use multiple layers of steel with specialized coatings and embossments. This construction is generally stronger and better at handling higher pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets, especially in performance applications.

What does the .051 thickness and 90 mm bore refer to?

The .051 inch is the compressed thickness of the gasket, which affects the compression ratio. The 90 mm bore is the diameter of the cylinder opening, ensuring it matches the cylinder bore of your engine.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It's recommended to use new head bolts and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications and sequence when installing the gasket for a proper seal.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1963-1967 BMW 1800, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Wiseco is designed to handle the demands of an engine, especially if you're adding more power.

This gasket uses a high-pressure steel-laminate construction, which is important when you have an aluminum head bolted to an iron block. These materials can expand at different rates under heat, and the steel layers in this gasket are built to withstand those sheer forces. It also features internal embossments that expand with heat, creating an even better seal as combustion pressures and temperatures rise. This makes it a strong option for engines that see higher performance use.

This gasket measures 90 mm bore and has a thickness of .051 inches, with three layers of steel for durability.
