Product Description

The Cometic C4571-032 MLX Head Gasket is a precision engineered replacement for the **right-side head** of the VR38DETT 3.8L twin-turbo V6 used in the 2009-2021 Nissan GT-R. With a 96 mm bore and a compressed thickness of .032 in, this gasket is designed to maintain OEM compression and geometry, while providing robust sealing performance under demanding conditions including high boost, elevated thermal loads, and repeated stress cycles.

Utilizing a three-layer MLX / Multi-Layer Steel design with embossed outer faces and stopping / torque limiting layers, the gasket enables reliable sealing without the need for additional sealants, provided proper head & block surface prep and correct torque procedure are followed. This is the RHS gasket; for full rebuilds or twin head replacement both RHS (C4571-032) and LHS (C4570-032) are needed. Fitment confirmed through 2021. **2025 unconfirmed** for possible future variants.
