About this part

Product Details

Built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed for your 1991-2001 Nissan Sentra with an SR20DE or SR20DET engine. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal even in demanding conditions. This gasket measures 87mm across the bore and has a compressed thickness of .036 inches, with an initial thickness of .040 inches, making it suitable for builds where precise engine tolerances are key.

MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, resisting corrosion and handling the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. Because they are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, they offer increased durability. The Viton coating on the outer layers is specifically chosen to perform in harsh sealing environments and on various surface finishes, meaning you won't need additional sealants for installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific build requirements.
