Cometic Honda CRX/Civic Integra -VTEC 81mm .080 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed stainless steel outer layers that are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. The compressed operating thickness is 0.080 inches, and it features an 81mm bore, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing the head gasket on your Honda CRX, Civic, Civic del Sol, or Integra with a VTEC engine, specifically models like the B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, or B18C5.

MLS head gaskets are known for their strength, thanks to the multiple layers of stainless steel, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape under stress. This construction is ideal for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. Because of their robust design, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a clean seal.
