Cometic Subaru EJ20 Motor 103mm .040 inch MLS Head Gasket SOHC 16V

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.040 inches, making it a solid choice for your 2002-2005 Subaru Impreza's EJ20 engine. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle the demands of high-output engines and are suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks without needing additional sealants.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), and is designed to perform well in harsh sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements, ensuring a good seal for your engine.
