Cometic Gasket cgsC4329-045 BMW S50B30US/S52B32 .045 in MLS Head Gasket

Comprised of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with the outer layers utilizing a Viton rubber coating. Compressed operating thickness is 0.045". US Spec Only. Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for todays high output engines and require no sealants. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They can withstand the shearing force created by the two materials. MLS gaskets have increased strength because they are comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel; which also creates the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton (a flour elastomer rubber based material that is heat resistant to 250 C/ 482 F). Viton is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The center or shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. BMW S50B30US/S52B32 .045in. MLS Cylinder Head Gasket; 87mm Bore

• The embossed outer layers of the gaskets meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes
• The center or shim layer is an uncoated stainless steel layer which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements
• Requires less clamp load creating less bore distortion
• Conforms load distribution across the sealing area
• Embossed Outer Layers Coated w/Viton

The Cometic Gasket cgsC4329-045 is a multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for BMW S50B30US and S52B32 engines. It features an 87 mm bore and a compressed operating thickness of .045 inch. The gasket is intended for US-specification applications and requires no sealants.

Multiple embossed stainless steel layers provide strength, rebound capability and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant fluoroelastomer designed for demanding sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The uncoated stainless steel center shim layer supports the specified thickness configuration.

MLS construction helps conform load distribution across the sealing area and requires less clamp load, which can help reduce bore distortion. Fitment data lists select 1995–2000 BMW M3 and 1998–2000 BMW Z3 applications. Verify the vehicle and engine configuration before installation.
