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. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic with a D15 or D16 engine, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and block.

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°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum and cast iron. The compressed thickness is 0.036 inches, and the bore size is 77mm, making it a precise fit for your D15/D16 engine. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.
