What is the primary benefit of a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets offer superior sealing capabilities compared to traditional composite gaskets. They are more resistant to stretching and blowouts under high cylinder pressures, making them ideal for performance engines.

What does the 1.2mm thickness signify for my RB26 engine?

The 1.2mm thickness is a common specification for the RB26 engine, especially when stock or lightly modified. It helps maintain proper valve timing and piston-to-valve clearance, crucial for engine health.

Does this head gasket come with new head bolts?

This product is for the head gasket only. New head bolts are typically recommended or required for head gasket replacement, and they are sold separately.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan RB26 engine, especially for boosted applications, a strong head gasket is crucial. This GReddy metal head gasket is built to handle the increased cylinder pressures that come with performance tuning. It's designed to seal the combustion chamber effectively, preventing leaks and maintaining consistent compression.

This gasket features a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is a popular choice for high-performance engines because it offers excellent sealing capabilities and durability. The 1.2mm thickness is a common spec for stock or mildly modified RB26 engines, helping to maintain proper valve timing and piston-to-valve clearance. GReddy is well-known for making solid engine components, and this head gasket is no exception, offering a reliable seal for your build.

When installing this gasket, ensure both the cylinder head and the engine block surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Always follow the manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications for tightening the head bolts to achieve the best seal and prevent gasket failure.
