Cometic Honda F22B1-F22B8/F22Z6/F23A1 .040in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

The outer layers of this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This is important because it helps create a strong seal between your engine block and cylinder head, even under demanding conditions. This gasket is specifically designed for Honda F22B1, F22B8, F22Z6, and F23A1 engines, and it features an 87mm bore with a thickness of 0.040 inches.

MLS gaskets are well-built for high-output engines because they use multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. This construction also allows the gasket to rebound, helping it maintain a tight seal. The Viton coating on the outer layers is designed to handle harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, and it means you won't need to use any additional sealants during installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.040 inches on this particular gasket.

This gasket is a solid option for rebuilding the top end of your 1994-2002 Honda Accord or 1997-1999 Acura CL. It's designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, and it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types.
