About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda CR-V with the B20 motor, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is designed to handle the demands of your engine. It's made with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion and shearing forces, especially when mating aluminum heads to an iron block. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes without needing additional sealants.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.027 inches. This construction makes it a well-built option for both stock and higher-output B20B4 and B20Z2 engines. The Viton coating on the embossed outer layers is key to its sealing performance, designed to meet the challenges of different load conditions and surface textures.
