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 solid choice for your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or Civic del Sol with a D15 or D16 engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, a good 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 reliable 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 embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating is effective in various sealing environments and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches for a 77mm bore.
