The Cometic BMW 318/Z3 89-98 86mm Bore .040 inch MLS Head Gasket M42/M44 Engine - C4349-040 is a precision-engineered head gasket with a 86mm bore and .040" compressed thickness.
The Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is engineered for high-performance and racing applications where OEM gaskets fall short. Featuring Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction, this gasket uses multiple embossed steel layers that conform to surface irregularities and maintain a positive seal. Precision CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, this gasket seals combustion, water jackets, and oil passages simultaneously — eliminating the need for multiple gaskets or sealing compounds.
