Constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with outer layers coated in Viton rubber, this gasket ensures a reliable seal under high-pressure conditions. With a compressed thickness of 0.070 inches, it provides optimal sealing performance for high-output engines.

Its durable construction makes it suitable for demanding applications, ensuring engine reliability and performance.
This gasket is specifically designed for US-spec BMW models equipped with the S50B30 or S52B32 engines from 1992 to 1999, including M3 and Z3 variants. It is a direct replacement for stock head gaskets, offering an upgrade for performance or rebuild projects. The gasket is ideal for high-performance street and track use, providing a secure seal under increased boost or power modifications. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Compatible with both aluminum and cast iron engine components, this MLS head gasket is suitable for enthusiasts seeking durability and maximum sealing performance in their BMW engines.
