# Cometic BMW 318/Z3 89-98 85mm Bore .089 inch MLS Head Gasket M42/M44 Engine

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three to five layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber material designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 250°C or 482°F.

-   The embossed outer layers of the gaskets meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes
-   The center or shim layer is an uncoated stainless steel layer which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements
-   Requires less clamp load creating less bore distortion
-   Conforms load distribution across the sealing area
-   Coated On Both Sides w/Viton
