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 1992-1996 Honda Prelude SI or 1995 Prelude SE, this gasket is designed to handle the job. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. This construction is ideal for pairing aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating ensures a strong seal even in demanding conditions. The compressed operating thickness is set at 0.040 inches, and the gasket has an 88mm bore, matching the specifications for the Honda H23A1 engine found in these Preludes. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
