The Cometic MLS head gasket for BMW M42/M44 engines is a .051" compressed-thickness cylinder head gasket for 85mm bore applications, specified for BMW 318 and Z3 models from 1989–1998. Built from multiple embossed stainless steel layers with a Viton rubber coating on the outer faces, it resists corrosion and rebounds under load. MLS construction eliminates the need for sealants and is suitable for aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-cast-iron head/block combinations, helping control bore distortion while conforming across the sealing area.
