Cometic Nissan VQ30/VQ35 V6 101.5mm LH .040 inch MLS Head Gasket 02- UP

This is the Left Side head gasket for your Nissan VQ30 or VQ35 V6 engine, measuring 101.5mm across the bore and compressed to a thickness of .040 inches. It's a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket, meaning it's built from several layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. This type of gasket is ideal for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants to do its job effectively.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to work well in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic uses these layers to achieve specific thickness requirements like the .040 inches found here. This well-built gasket is a popular choice for high-output engines where a reliable seal is critical.

This gasket fits a wide range of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles, including models like the Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Frontier. Always double-check the fitment for your specific vehicle to ensure you're getting the correct part for your engine build.
