About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures 0.036 inches thick, providing a solid seal for high-output engines like the Honda B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, and B18C5 found in your Acura Integra, Honda Civic del Sol, or Civic.

The multi-layer stainless steel construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the embossed outer layers coated with Viton can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
