Cometic Honda B16A2/B16A3/B17A1/B18C1/B18C5 .095in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 81mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible Honda Civic model, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed to seal the combustion chamber effectively, keeping your engine running smoothly. This gasket has an 81mm bore and a compressed thickness of .098 inches, with an uncompressed thickness of .095 inches, making it suitable for many performance-oriented B-series Honda engines like the B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, and B18C5.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to shearing forces, especially when mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a reliable seal without needing additional sealants, and the stainless steel construction also resists corrosion. The center layer can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, and in this case, it's set to provide the .095-inch uncompressed dimension.
