What is the purpose of the 'Metal Stopper' design?

The Metal Stopper design uses a multi-layer steel construction with a specialized stopper layer. This layer is engineered to create a more robust seal, particularly around the combustion chamber, which is vital for preventing leaks in high-performance engines.

What does the 96mm bore and 9.0:1 CR mean for my GT-R?

The 96mm bore indicates the diameter of the cylinder, which is larger than stock and suitable for engines that have been bored out. The 9.0:1 CR specifies the target compression ratio, important for engine tuning and performance goals. This set is for engines modified to these exact specifications.

What is required for installation of this head gasket set?

Proper installation requires meticulous preparation of the cylinder head and engine block surfaces to ensure they are clean and flat. It is critical to follow the manufacturer's specified torque sequence and values precisely to achieve a reliable seal.

Product Details

This is the HKS Metal Stopper Head Gasket Set specifically for the 2009 and 2010 Nissan GT-R. If you're rebuilding the top end of your VR38DETT engine, especially if you've bored out the cylinders or are looking for a specific compression ratio, this gasket set is designed to seal the combustion chamber effectively. It's built to handle the demands of a high-performance engine.

The 'Metal Stopper' design means it incorporates a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction with a special stopper layer. This layer is designed to provide a more robust seal, especially around the combustion chamber, which is crucial for preventing leaks under high boost and temperature conditions. The 96mm bore size is important if your engine has been modified to accept larger pistons, and the 9.0:1 compression ratio is a specific target for tuning. This gasket set is well-made to ensure a solid seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

When installing these gaskets, it's important to follow the manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications precisely. Proper preparation of the head and block surfaces is also key to achieving a reliable seal. This set is intended for engines that have been modified to these specific bore and compression requirements.
