About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L VTEC engine, this gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.066 inches, and it's made to fit an 87mm bore, making it suitable for the H22A1 and H22A2 engines. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This type of gasket is a solid option for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
