The Cometic C4520-120 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically designed for the Peugeot XU10J4RS 2.0L 16-valve engine. This high-performance gasket features an 86.5mm bore diameter and a compressed thickness of 0.120 inches (3.05mm), making it ideal for engine builders seeking reliable sealing performance in modified or high-output applications.
Advanced MLS Construction: This gasket is constructed from three layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength, rebound characteristics, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber material that remains heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is engineered to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes without requiring additional sealants.
Superior Sealing Technology: The embossed design of the MLS gasket promotes even clamp load distribution across the sealing surface, which helps reduce bore distortion and eliminates the need for re-torquing. The multiple-layer steel construction effectively handles the thermal expansion differences between aluminum cylinder heads and cast iron blocks, withstanding the shearing forces created between dissimilar materials.
Application: This gasket is compatible with Peugeot and Citroen vehicles equipped with the XU10J4RS engine, including the Peugeot 306 GTi-6 and S16, Citroen Xsara VTS, and Citroen ZX models from the mid-1990s to early 2000s. The XU10J4RS is a 1998cc inline 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine producing approximately 167 horsepower.
