What is the main advantage of a multi-layer steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets are known for their strength and ability to conform to the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and engine block. This makes them very effective at sealing combustion pressures, especially in performance applications.

What does the 1.4mm thickness signify for my RB26 engine?

The 1.4mm thickness is a common specification for RB26 engines, particularly for stock or mildly modified builds. It helps maintain the engine's original compression ratio, ensuring proper performance without requiring significant adjustments.

What preparation is needed before installing this head gasket?

Before installing, ensure both the cylinder head and the engine block deck surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and verified to be flat. Proper preparation is key to achieving a reliable seal and preventing leaks.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Nissan RB26 engine, especially if you're pushing more boost or have had cooling issues, a strong head gasket is crucial. This GReddy metal head gasket is built to handle the demands of a performance RB26, offering a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket features a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is well-known for its ability to conform to the surfaces of the head and block while resisting blowout under high cylinder pressures. The 87mm bore size is specific for the RB26, and the 1.4mm thickness is a common choice for stock or mildly modified engines, helping to maintain proper compression ratios. GReddy is a popular name in the import performance world, and this gasket reflects their focus on well-built engine components.

When installing this gasket, ensure both the cylinder head and the block deck 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 leaks.
