About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Subaru EJ25 DOHC engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1998 Forester, Impreza, or Legacy, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping combustion gases contained and coolant where it belongs. This gasket is built with three to five layers of stainless steel, chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion and rebound under pressure.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and then coated with Viton rubber on both sides. Viton is a material that can handle high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for the demanding environment inside an engine. This specific gasket has a thickness of .066 inches and a bore size of 100mm, designed to match the specifications of your EJ25 engine.
