About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Subaru EJ20G engines with a 93mm bore. It's built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material. This construction helps ensure a solid seal for high-output engines, and it's designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The MLS design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps maintain a good seal over time. The Viton coating on the outer layers is rated for temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and is chosen for its ability to handle tough sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, like this .092-inch version, which has a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches.

This gasket is a well-built option for rebuilding or repairing your engine. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants.
