About this part

Product Details

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with embossed stainless steel layers, each coated with heat-resistant Viton rubber. It's designed for a 79mm bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing the head gasket on your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or 1993-1997 Civic del Sol with a D15 or D16 engine.

The multi-layer steel construction offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal. The Viton coating on the outer layers is effective in harsh sealing environments and can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This type of gasket is well-suited for applications with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
