What does MLS construction mean for this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses several layers of stainless steel for added strength and the ability to rebound, which helps resist corrosion and maintain a strong seal.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures, up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. It helps ensure a reliable seal in demanding engine conditions and works well with various surface finishes.

Do I need to use any sealant with this head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require any additional sealants.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built gaskets that hold up under pressure, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is no exception. If you're working on a 1994-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible Honda Civic del Sol or Civic from the mid-90s to early 2000s, this gasket is designed to seal your engine block and cylinder head effectively.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and resilience, which helps it rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a solid seal even in demanding conditions. The compressed operating thickness is 0.051 inches, and it's built to handle the forces created when mating aluminum heads to aluminum or cast iron blocks. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
