Cometic Nissan VQ30DE/VQ35DE (Non VQ30DE-K) 98mm Bore LHS .030in MLS Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan VQ30DE or VQ35DE engine, getting the head gasket seal right is critical. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of modern, high-output engines, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet specific requirements, like the .030 inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket. This design is effective whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or aluminum heads to a cast iron block, as it can manage the different expansion rates between those metals.

This gasket is specifically for the left side of the engine and features a 98mm bore. It's designed to fit a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including models like the 350Z, Altima, Maxima, Frontier, and Infiniti G35 and FX35. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and procedures.
