What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets are made of multiple stainless steel layers, which gives them increased strength and better resistance to corrosion compared to single-layer gaskets. They are also designed to provide a strong seal without needing extra sealants.

What does the Viton coating on the outer layers do?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that helps the gasket seal effectively in demanding conditions. It's designed to handle high temperatures and various surface finishes on the engine block and cylinder head.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It is recommended to inspect and replace head bolts when installing a new head gasket, as they can stretch during the initial installation and may not provide even clamping force if reused.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda CR-V with the B20 engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, helping to prevent coolant and oil leaks.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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 various surface finishes. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.036 inches, and it's made to fit an 85mm bore, making it suitable for the B20B4 and B20Z2 engines found in your CR-V. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.

This type of gasket works well with both aluminum heads and aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
