    Us spec e36 m3 head gasket questions

    What's up guys my buddies looking to do a headgasket and get his car ready for boost he was going to get a stock thickness headgasket but I suggested a .140 thickness. All we can find in that thickness is the 87 mm bore headgaskets. Is that the one he should run or no?

    If you can't find the correct bore I would think cometic stopped making them? Everyone seems to be the copper spacer/ cutring combo instead of the MLS these days

    look into it

    I ended up buying a cutring I've heard too many MLS gaskets being hit or miss with boost

    VAC's website markets their MLS gasket as "up to" an 87mm bore. I don't have experiences with running a larger bore MLS, but hopefully someone else can chime in.

    I'm planning on running e85 with my stock s50 one for now and seeing how it holds up.
