What is the purpose of the Viton coating on this head gasket?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers of this gasket provides excellent heat resistance, up to 482°F (250°C). This helps ensure a reliable seal in demanding engine conditions and protects against harsh sealing environments.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic MLS head gasket?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants for installation. They are engineered to seal effectively right out of the box.

What is the difference between the right and left head gaskets for my VQ engine?

This part number, C4361-051, is specifically for the Right Side cylinder head. Engines typically require a separate gasket for the Left Side cylinder head, so ensure you order the correct part for each bank of your V6 engine.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel layers, featuring a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating on the outer surfaces. With a compressed operating thickness of .051 inches and a 96mm bore, this right-side gasket is designed for the specific demands of Nissan VQ30 and VQ35 V6 engines. MLS gaskets are a strong choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the Viton coating ensures a reliable seal in harsh environments, even on varied surface finishes.

These gaskets are ideal for high-output engines and do not require any additional sealants for installation. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness requirements, though this specific gasket is set at .051 inches. This gasket fits a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including models like the 350Z, Altima, Frontier, Maxima, and Infiniti FX35 and G35, making it a solid option for many VQ engine rebuilds.
