Key features

• Multi-layer steel (MLS) construction with embossed outer layers and an active combustion seal on multiple layers.
• Built for high cylinder pressures, with stronger sealing than a standard factory gasket.
• Multiple thicknesses available, so you can set your compression ratio and piston-to-head clearance.
• Cometic quality, a trusted name for performance and race engine gaskets.

Fitment

Fits the BMW M50 (non-Vanos), M50TU and M52 (2.5L and 2.8L) engines. Bore size is 85mm.

Not suitable for the M52TU or M54.

Choosing your thickness

Choose your gasket thickness from the Thickness drop-down above. Thickness changes compression ratio and piston-to-head clearance, so check it against your engine build before ordering.
