About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a Honda B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, or B18C5 engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the demands of VTEC power. It's specifically designed for your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, or 1999-2000 Honda Civic, ensuring a proper seal for the cylinder head to the engine block.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This advanced coating is designed to seal effectively in tough conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, even when paired with aluminum heads. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.080 inches and an 81.5mm bore, making it suitable for specific engine builds.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This well-built gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your VTEC engine, providing reliable sealing performance.
