Cometic Honda D15Z1/D16Y5/D16Y7/D16Y8/D16Z6 .074in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 76mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed to handle the demands of engines like the D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6 found in your 1992-2000 Honda Civic. A head gasket is crucial; it seals the combustion chamber and coolant passages, preventing leaks and maintaining proper engine operation.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. 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 coating helps ensure a solid seal even with different block and head materials, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, and it means you don't need to add any extra sealants during installation. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the gasket's overall 0.074-inch compressed thickness, with a 76mm bore diameter.
