The World’s Best Selling Combo for Boosted BMWs!
Many times a week there are calls we receive from shops and
customers all over the world that go like this:
"The car was running great with it's supercharger kit/turbo. Then without
notice the car blew its head gasket! What do I need to fix this once and for
all?"
The one-two combination of our VAC Head Gasket and ARP Hardware is
unbeatable! Tested at over 650WHP on the M50/S50 family of engines, there is
nothing better than this for quickly and permanently fixing your head gasket
issues without using a cutting head gasket or "O-ringing" the block. Compatible with both standard, and sleeved engines, our gaskets are made to our
own specs based on thousands sold and the results have been spectacular.
Of course; this kit is also works perfectly for the naturally aspirated tuners
among us that want ultimate reliability from the head gasket: just select the
.070 or .080 thickness that fits your needs, or call/email us with your
questions.
Select what engine you have and what
thickness head gasket you would like from the drop down menu and you will
get your Forced Induction solution in one box.
- .070 Is stock thickness. Works well for N/A and Supercharger kits
if your head has only been very lightly resurfaced, your gasoline / petrol
quality is good, and your cooling system is in order.
- .080 thickness is a good choice if head has been resurfaced more
than .005. Great along with a supercharger or low boost bolt on turbo kit.
This is a good match for hot climates or where poor quality gas is common as
it very slightly drops compression.
- .120 Popular for M50 / M52 setups. Allows for full potential of
the factory internals and good spool up.
- .140 Popular for S50/ S52 turbo setups. 8.5:1 compression is the
result on the S5x engine and allows for high boost setups with large turbo
up to the maximum of what the OE internals allow.
Please note: These kits allow the engine to make more power than
the factory internals can handle. Consult a professional such as one of our
techs if you have questions about engine internals.

VAC Tech's Pro Tips and Tricks:
- Don't sand or scuff the block before installing an MLS gasket!! We love and
highly recommend this tool
Goodson SuperScraper available from Amazon.
- Follow install directions *exactly*, this means your cylinder head should be
resurfaced.
- Building for more power beyond 650WHP? We have special packages that allow you
to use an MLS vs. having to O-ring the block, please inquire.
