Cometic BMW S50B30US/S52B32 86mm Bore .098in MLS Head Gasket

This listing is for a Cometic MLS head gasket specifically made for BMW S50B30US and S52B32 engines. You get one multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket with an 86mm bore and a thickness of .098 inches. This gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages between your engine block and cylinder head, preventing leaks and maintaining proper engine operation. Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel to construct these gaskets, which offers improved sealing performance over traditional composite gaskets, especially under high cylinder pressures. The .098 inch thickness is a common specification for these engines, designed to work with stock or mildly modified setups. This well-built gasket is a popular choice when rebuilding or repairing the top end of your S50 or S52 engine, helping to ensure a reliable seal that can withstand the demands of performance driving. When installing this gasket, always ensure both the block and head surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific torque sequences and values to achieve the best possible seal.
