Cometic Honda CRX/Civic Integra -VTEC 81.5 .027 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, or B18C5 engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs and works well with different head and block materials, whether you're pairing aluminum with aluminum or aluminum with cast iron. This gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches and a bore size of 81.5mm, designed to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines without needing any extra sealants.

The multi-layer steel construction means this gasket can handle the shearing forces that can happen when different metals are joined together. The stainless steel layers also allow the gasket to rebound and maintain a strong seal over time. The Viton coating on the outer layers is good up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine requirements, but this specific gasket is set at 0.027 inches compressed thickness.
