Cometic Honda B Series Hybrid VTEC Head/Non-VTEC Block .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 85mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on your Honda B Series engine, whether it's a VTEC or non-VTEC setup, this gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output builds. It's designed to create a maximum seal between the cylinder head and the block, and because it's MLS, it doesn't require any additional sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements; in this case, it results in a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This design is effective for sealing between aluminum heads and aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that occur between dissimilar metals.
