Cometic Honda Civic CRX SI SOHC 76mm Bore .056in MLS-5 D15/16 Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and provides a strong seal without needing additional sealants. The Viton coating is heat resistant up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes.

The MLS design offers increased strength due to its layered stainless steel construction, which also helps resist corrosion and allows the gasket to rebound. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like this .056-inch version. This gasket is ideal for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can effectively manage the shearing forces created between these materials. The 76mm bore is specific to certain D15 and D16 series SOHC engines found in models like the Civic and del Sol.
