What does the HP shim technology do?

The HP shim technology is designed to increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to create a more robust seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, which is especially beneficial for open deck block designs.

What is Viton coating and why is it used?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and other fluids. Coating the outer layers of the head gasket with Viton helps to improve its sealing performance and durability in harsh engine conditions.

What does the .060in bore and thickness mean for my engine?

The .060 inch thickness and 79mm bore are specific measurements for this head gasket. These dimensions are important for proper engine assembly and compression ratios, and should match the requirements of your specific engine build or repair.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic, a reliable head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, specifically designed for the D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6 variants.

Cometic uses their HP shim technology, which adds extra clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps ensure a tight seal, especially important with open deck blocks. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further improving its sealing capabilities under pressure.

This gasket features a 79mm bore and is .060 inches thick, making it suitable for specific engine builds. Make sure to check your engine's specifications to confirm this is the correct size for your application.
