What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

When properly installed and compressed, this Cometic head gasket has an operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This is a key measurement for ensuring proper engine compression and valve timing.

Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal on its own.

What makes MLS head gaskets suitable for different engine block and head materials?

The multi-layer steel construction allows these gaskets to withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals, such as aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The stainless steel layers also provide rebound strength and corrosion resistance.

About this part

Product Details

The outer layers of this Cometic head gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber effectively, especially in high-output engines. This gasket is specifically made for the 1992-1996 Honda Prelude SI and the 1995 Prelude SE models, featuring an 88mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches.

Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which increases strength and resistance to corrosion. This design also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain a strong seal, even with dissimilar block and head materials like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different requirements, with this specific gasket being 0.030 inches thick before compression.
