What does MLS mean for a head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of steel to create a strong and durable gasket that can handle higher pressures and temperatures compared to older gasket materials.

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

The Viton coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps to improve its sealing capabilities. Viton is resistant to heat and common engine fluids, which aids in creating a reliable seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

Is this gasket suitable for turbocharged L28 engines?

No, this specific Cometic head gasket (C4580-051) is designed for the non-turbo L28E, L28S, and L28ES engine variants found in the specified Nissan models. Always confirm your engine's specific configuration before ordering.
