The permanent fix for BMW Head Gasket issues

Our VAC M50 / M52 Multi Layered Steel Head Gaskets are designed to withstand much higher combustion pressures than any OE factory head gasket, as well as other conventional or modified head gaskets.

Made to the finest specifications and run all around the world on the street and in various motorsports; they are made from a minimum of 5 layers of which the outer layers are coated with a patented type of material to ensure proper sealing of fluids. This design ensures a complete combustion chamber seal and elimination of failure due to weak factory gaskets blowing out under boost or high performance use.

These gaskets are available on a variety of thickness' from as thin as .024" up to .140".
We use these gaskets on every engine we build.

• OE size is expressed as .070"
• Good when you need to drop, or sometimes even (slightly) increase compression
• Specify above if other than stock thickness is required
• Does not damage head or block like cutting ring gaskets
• Fits all BMW M50, M52 applications
• Super relaible when installed as per direction

  Accomidates bore up to 85mm (for M50 / M52 engines bored beyond 85mm, simply purchase this gasket for the S50 US series engine )

With our wide variety of in-stock gaskets, worrying about having a custom gasket made is no longer an issue.

VAC Tech & Install Notes:
-We strongly recommend the use of ARP studs when fastening the head to the block for best results.
-Silicone or gasket makeker should be used along with these gaskets in the timing cover areas - copper spray on the top of the gasket is OK but not needed.
-For best posible results, your cylinder head mating surface should be cleaned and professionally resurfaced to an Ra of 50 or finer.
