About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or CRX SI with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for a good seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the demands of these engines, ensuring your combustion chambers stay sealed and your engine runs smoothly.

Cometic builds this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel for 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). This combination makes it ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The compressed operating thickness is 0.051 inches, and it's designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing any additional sealants.

This gasket features a 78mm bore, matching the stock size for your D15 or D16 engine. It's a well-built component that fits right and is ready to go for your engine build.
