This gasket features an 85mm bore and a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, providing a precise fit and reliable seal.\n\nConstructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, the C4328-036 offers increased strength, rebound ability, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), ensuring durability in demanding engine conditions. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, effectively handling shearing forces.\n\nThis head gasket is specifically designed for a range of BMW models including the 323i\/is (1998-2000), 325i\/is\/iX (1991-1995), 328i\/is (1996-1999), 525i (1990-1995), 525iT (1993), and 528i (1997-2000), as well as the M3 (1995-1999) and Z3\/M Roadster\/M Coupe (1997-2000).\n\nInstallation requires adherence to proper torque specifications to ensure a secure seal. It is recommended to have clean and flat head and block surfaces for optimal performance.
