What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is 0.051 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratios and valve-to-piston clearance after installation.

Does this gasket require any additional sealants?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The multi-layer steel construction and Viton coating create a robust seal on their own.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes found in high-output engines.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the high output engines found in many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including models like the 370Z, G37, and Altima. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C) and can handle tough sealing environments, load conditions, and various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .051 inch compressed operating thickness on this particular gasket, which also features a 97mm bore.

MLS gaskets don't require sealants and offer increased strength due to their layered stainless steel construction, which also helps them resist corrosion and shear forces between different block materials. This well-built gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the top end of your engine, ensuring a reliable seal for your VQ35DE Version 2, VQ35HR, or VQ37VHR engine.
