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

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan VQ35DE Version 2, VQ35HR, or VQ37VHR engine, getting the head gasket right is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring reliable performance without needing extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This construction helps prevent leaks and withstands the forces created when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to achieve different compressed operating thicknesses, like the .045 inch of this particular gasket, which has a compressed thickness of .036 inches. This gasket is designed for a 97mm bore and is specific to the left-hand side (LHS) of the engine.

This gasket fits a wide range of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles, including models like the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35, 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z, and 2009-2018 Nissan Altima. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque sequences and procedures.
