mls head gaskets

[TS87325IS]

I was looking at the cometic gaskets and dose anyone know if the .70 is the same thickness as stock? Would the .66 be closer to stock?

For an MLS, .70 is stock on m20's according to them.
VAC recommends .80 - .98 for stock pistons

I recommend not using the MLS. :) Not a fan of them, I prefer my OEM BMW gasket.

im not speaking from experiance. just write ups. but under boost the factory gasket cant hold on for long. mls is a better option with boost. if installed right they should be fine.

MR 325 has a boosted M20.

This^^ if you read up on tech, a stock HG with metric blues or arp's will do just fine. From what Ive read, they seal alot better. Seems like you need todo more reading. Plus $30 vs $200 is better :D

I was more concerned with where he was finding a Cometic for $200.

those cometic hg's are ment to be one of the best next to cosworth as far as mls's go.
thats just what ive herd from people that have been using them.
