About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, or 1999-2000 Honda Civic with a B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, or B18C5 VTEC engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to seal your cylinder head effectively.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in various sealing conditions. The compressed operating thickness is 0.030 inches, and it features an 81.5mm bore, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine blocks. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.
