Cometic Honda Civic/CRX SI SOHC (D15/D16) 78mm .065 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're working on the engine for your 1992-2000 Honda Civic or del Sol with a D15 or D16 SOHC engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option for sealing the cylinder head to the block. It's designed to handle the demands of higher output engines and is built 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 tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 78mm, making it suitable for the specific D15 and D16 engine codes. The multi-layer steel construction not only provides strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist shearing forces, which is important when mating different block and head materials like aluminum to cast iron. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this particular gasket set at 0.065 inches.
