About this part

Product Details

You're getting a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, part number C4510-051. This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel and features an outer coating of Viton rubber, which can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. It's designed for a 97mm bore and has a compressed thickness of .051 inches. This gasket is a solid option for many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles with VQ30, VQ35, and VQ40 engines, including models like the Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Frontier.

The multi-layer steel construction gives this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and handle the demands of high-output engines. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough and can handle harsh sealing environments, different load conditions, and various surface finishes, making it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, though this specific gasket is set at .051 inches.
