What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness for this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel head gasket is 0.036 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper valve-to-piston clearance and compression ratios.

What is Viton coating and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material designed to withstand harsh sealing environments and high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C). It's applied to the outer layers of the gasket to ensure a reliable seal between the cylinder head and engine block.

Does this gasket require any sealant during installation?

No, Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The construction and Viton coating ensure a tight seal on their own.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions for a wide range of engines. If you're working on the VK45DE V8 in your 2002-2006 INFINITI Q45 and need to replace the head gasket, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is a well-built option.

This gasket is designed for a 93.5mm bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches. It's constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and works well with different head and block materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.

This gasket is specifically for the Left Side of the engine.
