Cometic Nissan VQ35DE Version 2/VQ35HR/VQ37VHR .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 97mm Bore - RHS

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Nissan VQ35DE Version 2, VQ35HR, and VQ37VHR engines. You get one MLS head gasket with a 97mm bore and a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches, built to handle the demands of high-output engines. This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers coated in heat-resistant Viton rubber, which can withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). The multi-layer design offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.

The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers ensures a strong seal without the need for additional sealants, even across different surface finishes. The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the .045 inch thickness of this specific gasket. This type of construction is well-suited for engines that produce significant power and experience high operating pressures.

This gasket fits a range of popular Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including models like the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35, 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z, and 2009-2020 Nissan Murano. It's a well-built component for rebuilding or repairing the top end of these VQ series engines.
