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

MLS head gaskets are made of multiple stainless steel layers, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. This construction also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain a strong seal under various conditions.

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, especially in demanding environments. It's designed to handle high temperatures and different surface finishes found when mating engine components.

Does this gasket come with any hardware or sealant?

This Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide a maximum seal on its own and does not require additional sealants. Hardware, such as head bolts, is typically sold separately and should be checked for compatibility.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a 1997-2001 Honda CR-V with a non-VTEC block and VTEC heads, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you need to get the job done right. This gasket is built to handle the demands of modern engines, providing a strong seal without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance, which also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain its seal. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes, making it suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.075 inches found on this specific gasket, which also features an 81.5mm bore.
