About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2001 Acura Integra, especially a VTEC engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of higher compression and more aggressive engine builds.

Cometic uses 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 extreme temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating ensures a tight seal against both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, even under high shearing forces. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to achieve specific compression ratios; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of .120 inches and an 85mm bore, making it suitable for B-series VTEC engines.

Because it's an MLS gasket with the Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This makes it a solid option for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron head and block combinations.
