What does the HP shim technology do?

The HP shim technology is designed to increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to create a stronger seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, which is especially beneficial for open deck engine designs.

What is the Viton coating on the gasket for?

The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers of the gasket provides excellent resistance to heat and chemicals. This helps the gasket maintain its seal and integrity under the high temperatures and harsh operating conditions found within an engine.

What engine codes does this gasket fit?

This Cometic head gasket is specifically designed for Honda D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6 SOHC engines.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built gaskets for a wide range of applications, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Honda Civic or CRX SI with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the cylinder head and the engine block. This gasket is specifically made for the D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6 engine codes.

This gasket features Cometic's HP shim technology, which is designed to increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to ensure a strong seal, especially important on open deck blocks. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and chemicals, further enhancing its sealing capabilities under demanding conditions. With a 79mm bore and a thickness of .027 inches, it's built to match your engine's specifications for a proper fit and function.
