About this part

Product Details

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 designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block. The MLS construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, and it's built to rebound and maintain its seal under stress.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough enough for harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specific 0.098 inch compressed operating thickness of this gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
