What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

This Cometic MLS head gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.045 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratios after installation.

What makes this gasket suitable for different engine block and head materials?

The Multi-Layer Steel construction, combined with the Viton coating on the outer layers, allows this gasket to effectively seal between dissimilar metals like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. It's designed to handle the shearing forces that can occur between these materials.

Does this head gasket come with any hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It is recommended to inspect and replace head bolts when installing a new head gasket, as they can stretch during the initial torque sequence.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or del Sol with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine. When you're rebuilding the top end or replacing a blown head gasket, you need a seal that can handle the heat and pressure. This gasket is built to do just that, offering a robust seal that doesn't require any extra sealants.

It's 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 that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is designed to work well with different block and head materials, like aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron, and it can handle the stresses that come from those combinations. The center layer is also stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet specific requirements, like the 0.045-inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket, which also features a 75.5mm bore.
