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 increased strength, excellent rebound properties, and 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 advanced multilayer design ensures reliable sealing under high pressure and temperature environments, making it suitable for performance applications. The gasket’s durable materials and coating provide enhanced longevity and consistent sealing performance, even in harsh conditions.
This gasket is specifically designed to fit the S14B20 and B23 engines with a bore diameter of 94.5mm. It serves as a direct replacement for stock head gaskets on compatible BMW Mini Cooper models from 1986 to 1990. Ideal for street and performance use, it ensures a secure seal during high-performance driving, tuning, or engine rebuilds. The gasket is a bolt-on component that requires no additional modifications for installation. It provides a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved durability and sealing integrity in their engine builds.

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.
