What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is .070 inches. This measurement is critical for ensuring proper compression ratios when installed.

Does this gasket require any sealant?

No, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is designed to provide a maximum seal without the need for additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal on its own.

What makes an MLS head gasket different from a standard one?

MLS head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, offering superior strength and resistance to corrosion compared to traditional composite gaskets. The layered design also allows for better sealing under high pressure and temperature conditions.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 1992-1996 Honda Prelude SI or 1995 Prelude SE, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the job. It's specifically made for the Honda H23A1 engine, featuring an 88mm bore and a compressed thickness of .070 inches. This gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block, crucial for maintaining proper engine compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance, which also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain its seal under stress. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
