What is the primary purpose of a head gasket?

A head gasket seals the space between the engine block and the cylinder head. This prevents combustion gases from escaping and keeps coolant and oil from mixing with the fuel-air mixture or entering the exhaust.

What does the 1.4mm thickness signify?

The 1.4mm thickness refers to the gasket's compressed height. This measurement is important for maintaining the engine's original compression ratio, especially when using stock or lightly modified components.

What is multi-layer steel (MLS) construction?

MLS construction uses multiple layers of steel with specialized coatings. This design offers excellent sealing capabilities and is well-suited for high-performance engines that experience significant pressure and heat.

About this part

Product Details

This is a GReddy metal head gasket specifically made for Nissan RB26 engines. It features an 88mm bore and a 1.4mm thickness, designed to seal the combustion chamber effectively. If you're rebuilding the top end of your RB26, a well-built head gasket is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant or oil leaks into the cylinders.

GReddy uses a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction for this gasket. This type of construction is known for its durability and ability to handle the high pressures and temperatures found in performance engines. The 1.4mm thickness is a common choice for stock or mildly modified RB26s, offering a good balance between sealing performance and maintaining the original compression ratio. Proper installation is key, so always refer to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a solid seal.
