Wiseco SC Gasket - GM Ecotech 2.2L Gasket

Wiseco is well-known for making strong internal engine components, and their Sport Compact MLS head gaskets are built to handle the demands of performance engines. This particular gasket is designed for GM Ecotec 2.2L engines, fitting a range of vehicles like the Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, and Saturn Ion.

This gasket uses a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is essential when you have an aluminum head bolted to an iron block. The steel layers are built to withstand the high sheer forces that can develop between these dissimilar metals, especially when you're pushing more power. It measures 87mm bore and is .040 inches thick, with internal embossments that actually expand with heat. This feature helps create an even tighter seal when the engine is under high combustion pressures and temperatures, conditions common in modified or power-adder applications.
