The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Nissan 180SX, Silvia, and Skyline with 2.0L FJ20E/FJ20ET engines is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, while the multi-layer design provides durability and consistent compression under high loads. The gasket's precise bore size of 85mm makes it suitable for performance applications, ensuring optimal sealing and engine integrity.

This gasket is intended for use in engines within the Nissan 180SX, Silvia, and Skyline models equipped with 2.0L FJ20E or FJ20ET engines, typically from 1985 onward. It serves as a direct replacement for stock head gaskets, offering improved sealing performance for both street and track use. Installation involves standard head gasket procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself with all necessary sealing surfaces. Suitable for high-performance builds, turbocharged setups, or engines subjected to increased stress, this MLS gasket ensures a reliable seal under demanding conditions and extended engine life.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
