What does Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) mean for this head gasket?

MLS construction means the gasket is made of several layers of stainless steel. This design provides increased strength and durability, helping it to withstand the pressures and heat in high-output engines. It also helps the gasket resist corrosion and maintain a reliable seal over time.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber that is highly resistant to heat and harsh chemicals. It's used here as a coating on the outer layers of the gasket to ensure a strong, reliable seal in demanding engine conditions, even at high temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers helps create a tight seal against the engine block and cylinder head.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda D15Z1, D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8, or D16Z6 engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs without needing any extra sealants. This gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches and a bore size of 78mm, making it a good fit for these specific Honda engines.

MLS gaskets are a popular choice for engines that produce more power because they can handle the increased stress. They work well whether you have aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block, as they can manage the different expansion rates between those materials. The layered stainless steel design also allows the gasket to rebound and maintain its seal over time, even in demanding conditions. The Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to work in harsh environments and can withstand temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit.
