About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built gaskets that hold up in demanding engine applications. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Honda B-series VTEC engines, specifically those found in the 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1994-1997 Civic del Sol, and 1999-2000 Civic. It's designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

This gasket is constructed from 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) and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks. The compressed thickness is 0.045 inches, and it features an 81mm bore, making it suitable for engines with that specific bore size. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
