About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-1996 Honda Prelude SI or 1995 Prelude SE, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of the H23A1 engine. It's designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, helping to prevent coolant and oil leaks.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures and various sealing conditions. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches, with an 87.5mm bore to match your engine.
