About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel layers, featuring a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. It's designed with a compressed operating thickness of 0.040 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing the head gasket on your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or del Sol with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine.

MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to rebound, which helps them resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal. This construction is ideal for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The Viton coating on the outer layers is rated for temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring it can withstand demanding engine conditions without breaking down.

Because this gasket is made from multiple layers of stainless steel, it offers increased strength and durability. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the 0.040 inches specified for this particular gasket. This gasket requires no additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
