What does MLS construction mean for this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable gasket that can withstand high temperatures and pressures common in performance engines.

What is the significance of the .060 thickness and 82mm bore?

The .060 thickness is the gasket's compressed thickness, which affects compression ratio. The 82mm bore is the diameter of the cylinder opening the gasket is designed to seal, a common size for modified RB engines.

Does this head gasket come with installation instructions?

While this gasket is designed for a direct fit, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque specifications and procedures to ensure a reliable seal.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan RB20DE or RB20DET engine, getting the cylinder head gasket seated correctly is crucial for a solid seal. This Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) head gasket is built for an 82mm bore, which is a common size when you're working with these popular Nissan engines, especially if you've bored them out a bit.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel to create a gasket that can handle the pressures and temperatures found in performance RB engines. This design helps prevent leaks and blowouts, giving you confidence in the seal between your cylinder head and engine block. It's a well-built component that's designed to fit right and perform reliably, whether you're doing a stock rebuild or adding some modifications.

When you're putting your engine back together, using a quality head gasket like this one is a smart move. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully, as proper torque sequencing and fastener preparation are key to a long-lasting seal.
