â–¶ Vehicle Fitments
The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for BMW M5 and M6 models from 1984 to 1992 is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand extreme engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The embossed outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of enduring temperatures up to 2500°C (4820°F). This design ensures reliable sealing under demanding load conditions and harsh environments, making it suitable for high-performance and modified engines. The gasket’s multilayer construction provides excellent durability, rebound, and sealing integrity, contributing to optimal engine performance and longevity.
This gasket is specifically engineered for the S38B35 engine in BMW M5 and M6 models within the 1984–1992 production years. It is a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets, ensuring proper fitment and sealing. The 94.5mm bore size and .070-inch thickness are tailored for high-performance applications, including street and track use. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Suitable for engines requiring a robust, reliable seal, this MLS gasket is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved durability and sealing performance in demanding driving 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.
