Compressed operating thickness is 0.051\". 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.\nBMC 1.8L B-Series .051in.

Crafted from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with outer layers coated in Viton rubber, this gasket provides excellent resistance to harsh sealing environments. The compressed operating thickness is just 0.051 inches, ensuring a tight seal that minimizes bore distortion and supports optimal engine performance. Designed specifically for MG MGB models from 1963 to 1974, including 1965, 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974, this gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The multilayer steel construction withstands shearing forces created by different materials and offers increased strength, rebound capability, and corrosion resistance. The embossed outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F, making it suitable for demanding engine applications. The uncoated stainless steel center or shim layer can be customized to meet various thickness requirements, providing flexibility for different engine rebuild needs. This gasket promotes even load distribution across the sealing area, reducing the need for excessive clamp load and helping prevent bore distortion, ultimately supporting reliable engine operation. It requires no sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a clean, effective seal for high-output engine applications. Whether you're restoring or enhancing a vintage MG MGB, this MLS gasket ensures a durable, high-performance seal compatible with your specific engine build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEmbossed outer layers of stainless steel coated with Viton for superior sealing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUncoated stainless steel shim layer allows for customizable thickness options\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned to withstand high temperatures up to 482°F with Viton coating\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks for versatile applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides excellent load distribution and minimizes bore distortion during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB Base 1962\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB Base 1963\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB Base 1964\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1962\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1963\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1964\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1965\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1966\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1967\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1968\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1969\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1970\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1971\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1972\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1973\u003cbr\u003e\nMG MGB GT 1974","brand":"Cometic Gasket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53520032661820,"sku":"cgsC4147-051","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1865\/9007\/files\/e40aa3fa36998bdc84e16b5a2ec556d4.jpg?v=1784246278","url":"https:\/\/necycleshop.com\/products\/cometic-bmc-1-8l-b-series-051in-mls-cylinder-head-gasket-83mm-bore","provider":"NE Cycle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
