Cometic Multi-layer Steel Head Gasket, BMW S38

This Cometic MLS Head Gasket is designed to replace BMW part numbers 11121316705, 11121307529, and 11121401351, specifically for the S38B35, S38B36, and S38B38 engines found in the E24, E28, and E34 M5 and M6 chassis.

Cometic MLS Gaskets are composed of multiple layers of stainless steel, the number of layers used varying by application.

These layers consist of both proprietary, high-temperature coated and uncoated stainless steel.

Additional layers increase active seal height and can be used to fine-tune compression.

The specialized coating used on Cometic Gaskets conforms to the surfaces of the cylinder head and engine block on the first heat cycle, creating a chemical bond.

MLS Gaskets are able to prevent blow-outs in engines with high cylinder pressure because the embossed layers act as a ‘spring’ and compensate for increased head lift.
