The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the 1999 and up BMW 320 with a 2.2L M54tuB22 engine is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding 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 and under various load conditions, making it suitable for high-performance and modified engine applications. The gasket's design emphasizes durability, precision fit, and the ability to maintain a tight seal under extreme temperatures and pressures.
This gasket is specifically designed for BMW 320 models from 1999 onward, equipped with the 2.2L M54tuB22 engine. It is a direct replacement for the stock head gasket, providing a reliable seal for both street and performance use. The 81mm bore size ensures compatibility with the specified engine. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, making it suitable for professional or experienced DIY mechanics.

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.
