About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's specifically made for engines like the D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6, and features a 77mm bore with a compressed thickness of .075 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the .075 inches on this particular gasket. This construction makes it suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise from different metal expansion rates.
