Cometic Honda Civic 1.7L D17A1 76mm .060 inch MLS Head Gasket D17

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 2001-2005 Honda Civic with the 1.7L D17 engine, a solid head gasket is key to a reliable seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of modern engines. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is tough enough for various sealing environments and surface finishes, and it helps the gasket maintain its seal even with dissimilar metals like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements; in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an overall thickness of 0.060 inches and a bore size of 76mm.
