About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2002 Honda Accord, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of a well-running engine. It's designed for an 86mm bore and has a compressed thickness of .040 inches, making it a precise fit for your F22B1 engine.

Cometic 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 creates a strong seal against aluminum heads and blocks, or even aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. This construction means you don't need additional sealants, and the gasket is built to withstand the demands of higher output engines.
