About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda CR-V with the B20B4 or B20Z2 engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid option. It's designed to handle the demands of these engines, providing a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

This gasket 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for various sealing conditions. The compressed operating thickness is 0.040 inches, and the 85mm bore size is specific to the B20 engine. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to seal well between different metals, like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, without needing additional sealants.
