Cometic Honda D15Z1/D16Y5/D16Y7/D16Y8/D16Z6 .092in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 76mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a prime example. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-2000 Honda Civic with a D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, or D16Z6 engine, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with a 0.092-inch uncompressed thickness and a 76mm bore, making it suitable for many stock and slightly modified D-series engines.

Because it's an MLS gasket, 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 combinations, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.
