About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible Honda Civic or Civic del Sol with a B-series VTEC engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed to handle the demands of performance engines, providing a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

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 different block and head materials, including aluminum and cast iron. The compressed thickness is 0.027 inches, and it's made for an 83mm bore, which is common for B16 and B18 VTEC engines.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. Just make sure your mating surfaces are clean and flat, and you're ready to go.
