What does the .040in measurement on this gasket mean?

The .040 inch measurement refers to the thickness of the cylinder head gasket. This specific thickness is often used during engine rebuilding to achieve a particular compression ratio or to compensate for modifications like cylinder head resurfacing.

What is Viton coating on the gasket layers?

Viton is a high-performance synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat and chemicals. Coating the embossed outer layers with Viton helps create a more robust and durable seal, especially under the demanding conditions found in an engine's combustion chamber.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific preparation steps required for installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX with an SR20DE or SR20DET engine, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial. This Cometic MLX head gasket is built to seal the combustion chamber, coolant passages, and oil galleries effectively, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably. It's designed with an 88mm bore and is specifically for RWD applications, meaning it fits right in place for your build.

This gasket features embossed outer layers coated with Viton. This construction helps create a strong seal under pressure and heat, which is important for maintaining compression and preventing leaks. The .040 inch thickness is a specific measurement that's often chosen during engine work to achieve a desired compression ratio or to account for block decking. Cometic focuses on using good materials and manufacturing processes to make sure this gasket performs well in your specific application.
