What is the main purpose of a head gasket?

A head gasket seals the combustion chamber, preventing gases from escaping and fluids like oil and coolant from mixing. It's vital for maintaining compression and ensuring the engine runs smoothly.

Why use a multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket?

MLS gaskets are known for their durability and ability to seal effectively under high pressure and temperature. The multiple layers allow the gasket to better conform to imperfect surfaces, providing a more robust seal than older gasket types.

What does the 1.2mm thickness signify?

The 1.2mm thickness is a common specification for RB26 engines, especially those that are stock or have mild performance modifications. This thickness helps maintain the correct compression ratio for optimal engine performance.

Product Details

This is the GReddy 88mm, 1.2mm thick metal head gasket specifically made for Nissan RB26 engines. A head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, preventing coolant and oil leaks, and maintaining proper compression. When you're rebuilding or modifying an RB26, especially if you're pushing more power, a strong metal gasket like this one is essential for reliability.

GReddy built this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel. This multi-layer design (MLX) helps it conform to the cylinder head and block surfaces, ensuring a solid seal even under high pressure and temperature. The 1.2mm thickness is a common choice for stock or mildly modified RB26s, helping to achieve the correct compression ratio. It's a well-built component designed to handle the demands of these performance engines.

When installing this head gasket, make sure your cylinder head and block surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. Always follow the manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications for tightening the head bolts to ensure the gasket seals correctly and prevents future issues.
