The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the 1986-1990 BMW Mini Cooper with a 1990cc engine is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The embossed outer layers are coated with a Viton rubber-based material, capable of enduring temperatures up to 2500°C (4820°F), ensuring reliable sealing in harsh environments. Its multilayer design provides excellent load distribution and durability, making it suitable for high-performance applications and demanding engine rebuilds. This gasket is engineered to deliver consistent compression and prevent leaks, supporting optimal engine performance and longevity.
Designed specifically for the S14B20/B23 engines in BMW Mini Coopers from 1986 to 1990, this MLS gasket is a direct replacement for stock head gaskets. It fits the 93.4mm bore size and is ideal for both street and performance use, including turbocharged or high-compression setups. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, ensuring a secure seal between the cylinder head and engine block.

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.
