Cometic Honda CRX/Civic Integra -VTEC 83mm .089 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C1, or B18C5 engine, commonly found in the 1994-2001 Acura Integra and certain Honda Civic models. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, designed to handle the demands of high-output engines without needing any extra sealants. This makes it a great choice whether you're working with aluminum heads and blocks, or a mix of aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates between those materials.

The strength of this gasket comes from its layered stainless steel construction, which also helps it resist corrosion and maintain its shape. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating is tough and can handle various sealing conditions and surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specific compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an initial thickness of 0.089 inches, for this particular gasket. This design ensures a reliable seal for your engine's critical components.
