What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

This Cometic MLS head gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches. This measurement is important for maintaining proper compression ratios in your engine.

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

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require the use of additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers helps create a reliable seal.

What makes a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket different from a standard gasket?

MLS gaskets are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping them resist corrosion and maintain a seal. They are ideal for high-output engines and can handle the stresses of mating different metal types, like aluminum to cast iron.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer that can handle up to 482°F. It has a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches and a 76mm bore, making it a solid choice for D15 and D16 SOHC engines found in your Honda Civic or CRX SI. MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal even when mating dissimilar metals like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. Because they are constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, they offer increased durability and can withstand the shearing forces that can develop in high-output engines. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants.

The center layer of this gasket is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic can vary this layer to achieve different thickness requirements, like the 0.051 inches found here. The Viton coating on the outer layers is specifically chosen to perform well in harsh sealing environments, under various load conditions, and on different surface finishes, ensuring a dependable seal for your engine.
