What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

A Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is made of several layers of stainless steel. This construction offers increased strength and better sealing performance, especially in high-output engines, compared to older gasket types.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on this gasket?

The Viton coating on the outer layers of the gasket is a heat-resistant rubber material. It helps ensure a reliable seal in demanding conditions and can accommodate different surface finishes on the cylinder head and block.

Does this head gasket require any additional sealants during installation?

Generally, MLS head gaskets like this one from Cometic do not require additional sealants. They are designed to provide a complete seal on their own, simplifying the installation process.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the H22A4 or H22A7 engine in your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to seal your cylinder head and block effectively. MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they offer improved sealing performance compared to older gasket designs.

This gasket is constructed with multiple layers of stainless steel for added strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; in this case, it's set to a compressed thickness of .060 inches with an 89mm bore, making it a direct fit for your Prelude's engine. Because it's an MLS gasket, it generally doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
