Cometic Honda Civic/CRX SI SOHC 75.5M .036 inch MLS Head Gasket D15/16

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. It's designed for the D15 and D16 engines found in your 1992-2000 Honda Civic, including the del Sol models from 1993-1997. When compressed, this gasket measures 0.036 inches thick, providing a solid seal for high-output engines.

MLS gaskets are a smart choice because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. They also have the ability to rebound, helping them maintain a seal even under stress. This construction makes them ideal for applications where you have aluminum heads bolted to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can handle the different expansion rates and shearing forces between those materials. Because of their design, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
