About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the pressures of performance engines, ensuring a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic builds this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and various sealing demands. This construction means the gasket can be used with both aluminum and cast iron blocks without issue, and it doesn't require any additional sealants to do its job effectively. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different engine build requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches and an 88mm bore, specifically for the H22A4/H22A7 engines.
