What does MLS stand for in this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This type of gasket uses multiple layers of steel to create a strong and reliable seal between the engine block and cylinder head, offering improved performance over older gasket materials.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the gasket layers?

The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers helps to create a better seal against the cylinder head and block surfaces. Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat and chemicals, which aids in maintaining a tight seal under engine operating conditions.

Is this head gasket suitable for turbocharged L28 engines?

No, this specific Cometic head gasket (Part# C4580-036) is designed for non-turbocharged L28E, L28S, and L28ES engines found in the 1975-1980 Nissan 280Z and 280ZX models. Always confirm your engine's specific configuration before ordering.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1975-1978 Nissan 280Z with the L28E, L28S, or L28ES non-turbo engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to seal your combustion chambers and coolant passages effectively. It's designed with a thickness of .036 inches and a bore size of 89mm, specifically for these L-series engines.

Cometic uses embossed outer layers on this gasket, which are then coated with Viton. This construction helps ensure a strong seal against the cylinder head and block, even under the heat and pressure of normal engine operation. The MLS design offers improved sealing capabilities compared to older gasket types, making it a solid choice for engine work on your classic Z car.
