Yep... I got one on my L28ET. MSA sells 1mm & 2mm HKS MLS (multi-layer steel) headgaskets. They are about $150.

check HKS directly and see if there is another re-seller. They used to be listed at $100 from a HKS catalog I saw online.
(dont' quote me on that)

I'm running the OEM gasket... as in, the one that Nissan put in at the factory in 1979!!!

It's still kind anew though... only 250,000 miles.!!!

Which do you think would hold more pressure? ... Thas why.

The MLS will withstand more heat & pressure than a standard hg. This is a pic of my headgaskets:
