Cometic MLX Head Gasket (Single) Subaru EJ25 (to 2006) 101mm Bore

Cometic MLX Head Gasket (Single) – Subaru EJ25 (to 2006) – 101mm Bore

The Cometic MLX Head Gasket is a multi-layer stainless steel replacement for the factory head gasket on Subaru 2.5L EJ25 engines up to 2006: the EJ25D, EJ251, EJ252, EJ253 and EJ255 Version 1, and the 2004–2006 EJ257 from the GD Impreza WRX STI. It has a 101mm round bore and comes in a choice of compressed thicknesses, so you can match the stock deck height or set the compression ratio on a rebuilt engine.

Cometic's MLX (Multi-Layer Xtreme) gasket adds a fold-over stopper layer around each bore. The stopper acts as a torque-limiting surface that stops the combustion seal from yielding, which suits high-boost engines with high cylinder pressure. Coated, embossed layers seal the coolant and oil passages.

Options

Compressed thickness: 0.81mm (.032"), 1.12mm (.044"), 1.52mm (.060"). Thicker gaskets lower compression; match the thickness to your engine builder's spec.

Note: Sold individually – an EJ engine needs two, one for each head. For EJ255 and EJ257 engines from 2007, choose the Version 2 gasket instead. Installation by a professional is recommended.
