The Cometic MLS head gasket for BMW M42/M44 engines (85mm bore, .040" compressed thickness) delivers multi‑layer stainless steel construction with embossed outer layers coated in heat‑resistant Viton. MLS design provides strong rebound, corrosion resistance and consistent load distribution without sealants, suitable for aluminum‑to‑aluminum or aluminum‑to‑cast‑iron applications. The uncoated center shim layer supports thickness variation and reduced clamp load for less bore distortion.
