About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a 1994-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible Honda Civic del Sol or Civic, and need to replace the head gasket, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is a solid option. It's specifically designed for the B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, and B18C5 VTEC engines, ensuring a proper seal between your cylinder head and 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 high-output engines. The compressed operating thickness is 0.045 inches, and the 81.5mm bore size is matched to these specific Honda engines. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
