Cometic C4283-040 MLS Head Gasket for Nissan SR20 Engines

If you're diving into a performance build for your 1993-1996 Nissan S14 with the SR20DE or SR20DET engine, the Cometic C4283-040 MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is a crucial upgrade you shouldn't overlook.

Why Choose Cometic MLS Head Gaskets?

Cometic's MLS gaskets are engineered for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron applications, ensuring they can withstand the shearing forces that occur between these materials. The multi-layer design, consisting of several layers of stainless steel, provides enhanced strength and durability, allowing the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion over time.

Performance and Reliability

The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a high-performance flouroelastomer that can withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). This makes it ideal for high-stress environments, ensuring that your engine maintains optimal performance even under extreme conditions.
