About this part

Product Details

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The stainless steel layers provide increased strength and corrosion resistance, while the Viton coating can withstand temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and is suited for various sealing environments.

The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 77mm. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your D15 or D16 series engine in your Honda Civic or CRX SI.
