Cometic 02+ NIS VQ30/VQ35 97mm LHS .051in MLS Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're working with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The multi-layer stainless steel construction offers increased strength and resists corrosion, while the embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

The center layer of this gasket is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches to achieve the 0.051 inch nominal thickness. This design helps accommodate the shearing forces created when mating different block and head materials. It's a solid option for many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles with VQ30 and VQ35 engines, including models like the Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Altima.
