Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers helps create a reliable seal.

What is the advantage of Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction?

MLS construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which increases the gasket's strength and its ability to rebound. This design also helps resist corrosion and can withstand the shearing forces created when sealing different types of engine blocks and heads.

Is this gasket compatible with both aluminum and cast iron blocks?

Yes, this MLS head gasket is designed to work effectively with both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The multi-layer design helps manage the stresses between dissimilar metals.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for the demands of high-output Nissan VQ35 and VQ37 engines. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading these popular V6 powerplants found in a range of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles.

The strength of this gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which help it rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This is the left-side gasket for your VQ engine. When you're working on engines like those in the Nissan 370Z, Infiniti G37, or Nissan Altima, ensuring a proper seal is critical for performance and longevity. Cometic's MLS design is a well-known option for these applications.
