Cometic Nissan KA24DE .140in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 91mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan KA24DE engine, or working on a Lotus Elan, Europa, or Seven from the 60s and 70s, 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 these engines. It's designed to create a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, keeping combustion gases contained and fluids separated.

Cometic builds this gasket using multiple layers of stainless steel. Stainless steel is a good choice here because it's strong, resists corrosion, and can spring back into shape if the sealing surfaces aren't perfectly flat. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating helps the gasket conform to the sealing surfaces, ensuring a tight seal even in demanding conditions. The .140 inch thickness and 91mm bore are specific dimensions for these engines, ensuring a proper fit and compression ratio.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Nissan 240SX, Frontier, and Xterra, as well as classic Lotus cars. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm it's the right part for your specific application.
