About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a 77mm bore and a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches. It's specifically designed for Honda D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, and D16Z6 engines, offering a robust sealing solution for your rebuild or repair.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant synthetic rubber that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This material is chosen for its ability to withstand harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The multiple stainless steel layers not only increase the gasket's strength and resistance to shearing forces but also allow it to rebound and resist corrosion, ensuring a long-lasting seal without the need for additional sealants.

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic, this MLS gasket is a solid option. Its construction is intended to handle the demands of higher output engines, providing a dependable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.
