The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for BMW Mini Cooper M20 2.5/2.7L Inline 6 engines is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, while the multi-layer design provides durability and consistent compression under load. The gasket's precise bore size of 81mm makes it suitable for specific engine configurations, delivering improved sealing integrity and engine performance.
This gasket is compatible with BMW Mini Cooper models equipped with M20 2.5/2.7L inline 6 engines from 1981 to 1995. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets, ensuring a proper fit and seal during engine rebuilds or repairs. The MLS design is ideal for high-performance applications, including street and track use, where durability and reliable sealing are critical. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. This product is suitable for enthusiasts seeking a durable, high-quality gasket that maintains sealing performance under extreme conditions.

Overview
Overview
The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.
The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.
The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
