What does MLS mean for a head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable gasket that resists corrosion and can handle higher pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide a complete seal on its own and does not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a tight seal against the engine block and cylinder head.

What is the compressed thickness of this gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is 0.095 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratio and valve-to-piston clearance after installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or CRX SI with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of modern engines, whether you're working with aluminum or cast iron blocks.

Cometic builds this gasket with 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°F (250°C) and works well in various sealing environments. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.095 inches, and it features a 75.5mm bore, making it a direct fit for the specified D15 and D16 engine codes. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
