About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2001-2005 Honda Civic with the 1.7L D17A1 engine, a solid head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of modern engines, offering a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

Cometic constructs this gasket using multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a tight seal even under tough conditions. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches and a 76mm bore, making it a good fit for the D17A1 engine. This design is effective for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks.
