Cometic Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 - VQ40DE .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 98mm Bore - LHS

This is the left-side cylinder head gasket from Cometic, designed for Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 and VQ40DE engines. It features a 98mm bore and a compressed thickness of .040 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles, including models like the Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Frontier.

Cometic uses a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for this gasket, which means it's made from several layers of stainless steel. This design gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, all without needing additional sealants.

The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and in this case, it's set to provide a .040 inch compressed operating thickness. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your engine's top end.
