Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda or Acura VTEC engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it strength and the ability to rebound, which helps it handle the forces between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs and different surface finishes without needing any extra sealants.

The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific needs; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and an 85mm bore, making it a good fit for engines like the B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, and B18C5 found in models like the 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1999-2000 Honda Civic. This well-built gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines.
