Cometic Honda D17A1/D17A2/D17A6/D17A7 .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 79mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and provides a strong seal without needing additional sealants. It's well-suited for applications combining aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multiple steel layers offer increased strength and resistance to corrosion and shearing forces.

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for harsh sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements. This particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 79mm, with an initial thickness of 0.051 inches, making it a solid option for rebuilding or repairing the D17A1, D17A2, D17A6, or D17A7 engines found in the 2001-2005 Honda Civic.
