About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Honda B-series VTEC engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible 1994-2000 Honda Civic, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of performance engines.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps it resist 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 blocks. The compressed thickness is .070 inches with an 82mm bore, making it suitable for specific engine builds. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
