What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

This Cometic head gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches. This measurement is important for maintaining the correct compression ratio after installation.

Does this head gasket require any additional sealants?

No, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide a complete seal on its own and does not require any additional sealants. This simplifies the installation process.

What is the benefit of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand temperatures up to 482°F. This helps ensure a reliable seal in the demanding environment of the combustion chamber.

About this part

Product Details

The outer layers of this Cometic head gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber in your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L VTEC engine. The gasket itself is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) design, built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance.

MLS head gaskets are well-suited for engines with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can develop between these materials. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches and is designed for an 87mm bore, matching the Honda H22A1/H22A2 engine.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The stainless steel construction also offers a good rebound ability and resists corrosion, helping to ensure a long-lasting seal.
