Cometic Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 - VQ40DE .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 97mm Bore - RHS

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for Nissan VQ35DE Version 1 and VQ40DE engines, offering a 97mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're working with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

What makes these MLS gaskets stand out is their construction. They use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is tough and designed to seal well in harsh environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.080 inches on this particular gasket, ensuring a precise fit for your build.

This gasket fits a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including models like the Infiniti FX35, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan Frontier. It's a well-built component that doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation straightforward when you're rebuilding your engine.
