About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for your 2012-2015 Honda Civic with the K20Z7 engine. It features an 87mm bore and a compressed thickness of .051 inches, designed to provide a solid seal between your cylinder head and engine block. MLS gaskets are a popular choice for modern engines because they offer excellent sealing performance without needing additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

Cometic constructs these gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel. This layered design increases strength and helps the gasket rebound, resisting corrosion and the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing Cometic to vary the thickness to meet different engine requirements.
