What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

An MLS head gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel. This design offers increased strength and better sealing capabilities compared to older gasket types, especially under high pressure and temperature conditions.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating?

The Viton coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps create a more robust seal. It's designed to meet the demands of various harsh sealing environments and surface finishes, while also providing heat resistance.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. Installation hardware, such as head bolts or studs, is typically sold separately and should be checked for compatibility with your specific engine build.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1984-1986 Nissan 200SX, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures and temperatures of your CA18ET or CA20E engine.

Cometic builds this gasket using three to five layers of stainless steel. They chose stainless steel because it's strong, rebounds well under pressure, and resists corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and then coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. This coating helps the gasket seal effectively even in tough conditions and on various surface finishes, staying effective up to 482°F (250°C).

This gasket is specifically sized for an 85mm bore and is .040 inches thick, making it a direct fit for the specified Nissan 200SX models. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper sealing.
