About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. It's designed for an 82mm bore and has a compressed thickness of 0.080 inches, making it a solid choice for high-output Honda engines like the B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, and B18C5 found in your Integra, Civic del Sol, or Civic. MLS gaskets are well-suited for sealing aluminum heads to both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar metals. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing the gasket to rebound. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
