Cometic Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 - VQ40DE .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 98mm Bore - RHS

Cometic Gasket has a solid reputation for making well-built engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a great example. It’s designed for Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 and VQ40DE engines, fitting a wide range of vehicles like the Infiniti FX35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Frontier. This particular gasket has a 98mm bore and is the right-side (RHS) gasket, with a compressed operating thickness of .060 inches.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It’s made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is designed to work in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The center layer is also stainless steel, allowing for different thickness options to meet specific engine needs.

Because it’s an MLS gasket, it provides maximum sealing performance and doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This makes it a solid option for engines that are pushed harder than stock.
