What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets are made of multiple stainless steel layers, which makes them stronger and more resistant to corrosion than traditional gaskets. They also offer excellent sealing performance for high-output engines and don't require additional sealants.

What does the Viton coating on the outer layers do?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that helps create a reliable seal in demanding conditions. It can withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C), and works well with various surface finishes.

Is this gasket suitable for a standard VTEC engine setup?

This specific gasket is designed for a hybrid setup, intended for VTEC heads used with a non-VTEC block. Always confirm your engine's configuration to ensure compatibility.

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. It's designed specifically for a hybrid setup, working with VTEC heads on a non-VTEC block for your 1997-2001 Honda CR-V. This gasket is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing leaks between your engine block and cylinder head.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in tough sealing situations. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.070 inches compressed thickness on this particular gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
