The Cometic MLS head gasket for BMW M42/M44 engines is a .080" compressed-thickness gasket for 85 mm bore applications, specified for BMW 318 and Z3 models (1989–1998). It uses multiple embossed stainless steel layers with Viton-coated outer faces and an uncoated stainless shim center to resist corrosion and rebound under load. MLS construction seals aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-iron head/block pairs without sealants.
