Cometic Honda Civic 1.7L D171 76mm .051 inch MLS Head Gasket D17

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. It's designed for the 1.7L D17 engine found in the 2001-2005 Honda Civic, featuring a 76mm bore and a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches. This construction makes it a solid choice for sealing the combustion chamber, whether you're dealing with aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces between different metals.

The strength of this MLS gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also help it rebound and resist corrosion. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. Because it's made from these robust materials and designed for a tight seal, it requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a dependable seal for your engine.
