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. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil from mixing. This gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a strong seal without needing additional sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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 (250 C). This coating ensures a reliable seal even with different block and head materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and it can withstand the forces created between these dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.080 inches with a 76mm bore, making it a direct fit for your specific engine.
