About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1984-1986 Nissan 200SX, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the pressures of your CA18 or CA20 SOHC engine.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specific 0.051 inch compressed operating thickness, which is ideal for the 85mm bore of your engine.

This gasket is suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it's built to withstand the forces created when joining different metals.
