What does MLS mean for a head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel to create a strong, durable gasket that resists corrosion and can handle high engine output. It's designed for a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of heat-resistant synthetic rubber. On this Cometic head gasket, it's used as a coating on the outer layers. Viton is chosen because it can withstand high temperatures and harsh sealing conditions, ensuring a good seal between the engine block and cylinder head.

Does this gasket come with any other parts?

This product is for the Cometic MLS head gasket only. It is designed to be a direct replacement for your original gasket. You may need to purchase head bolts or other related engine components separately if they are not in good condition.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda B-series VTEC engine. It's designed for an 83mm bore and has a compressed thickness of .040 inches, making it a direct fit for your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1994-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, or 1999-2000 Honda Civic. These gaskets are built to handle the demands of high-output engines.

Cometic builds these gaskets with 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 tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or cast iron block. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .040" on this particular gasket. Because they're MLS, they don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
