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 F22 engine. It's designed to fit 1994-2002 Honda Accords and Acura CLs from 1997-1999, specifically for engines like the F22B4, F22B5, F22B6, F22B8, F22Z6, and F23A1. A good head gasket is crucial for keeping your engine's combustion chambers sealed, preventing coolant and oil from mixing, and maintaining proper compression.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. 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 high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating helps create a strong seal against the engine block and cylinder head, even with different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and an 86mm bore, with the center layer adjusted to achieve the 0.080-inch overall thickness.

Because it's an MLS gasket with Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation a bit more straightforward. This type of gasket is well-suited for engines that see higher output, ensuring a dependable seal under demanding conditions.
