About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with an 87mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, designed specifically for Nissan SR20DE and SR20DET engines in front-wheel-drive applications. The multiple stainless steel layers offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion and withstand the forces between aluminum and cast iron blocks. This makes it a solid choice for high-output engines where reliable sealing is critical.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating ensures a strong seal even in demanding conditions and means you won't need to use additional sealants during installation. The center shim layer is stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control and robust performance. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Infiniti G20, Nissan Sentra, and Nissan 200SX.
