Cometic Subaru FB20B/FB20X .028in 85.7mm Bore MLX Cylinder Head Gasket - LHS

This Cometic MLX head gasket is built with a thickness of .028 inches and a bore size of 85.7mm, specifically for the Subaru FB20B and FB20X engines found in models like the 2012-2016 Impreza. When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, a properly sealing head gasket is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil from mixing. This gasket is designed to meet those demands, ensuring a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

The MLX construction from Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel with a special coating. This multi-layer design offers improved sealing capabilities compared to older gasket technologies, especially under the stresses of engine operation. The precise bore size ensures it matches your engine's cylinders accurately, and the .028 inch thickness is a common specification for these Subaru engines, making it a direct replacement for your original gasket when it's time for a repair or rebuild.

If you're working on your Subaru's engine, this Cometic head gasket is a well-built option to help ensure a reliable seal. It's important to always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedures and torque specifications when replacing head gaskets.
