Description Reviews This brand new MINI Cooper head gasket is in stock and ready to ship. A new gasket is required anytime you modify or replace the head on your MINI. This head gasket is specially designed for engines with an aluminum head and iron block. We can also get you an oversized (thicker) gasket if needed. Just give us a call! This is a brand new high quality gasket and looks and functions exactly as the factory part (it might actually be!) but at a much lower cost.. Will fit and work on all Gen 1 MINI Cooper's (R50, R52, R53)
