Cometic Nissan SR20DE .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 88.5mm Bore - FWD

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. With a compressed operating thickness of .098 inches and an 88.5mm bore, it's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines without needing additional sealants. This makes it a solid choice for applications pairing aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between these different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions and across various surface finishes. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness requirements, providing flexibility for specific engine builds.
