About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for proper engine function. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic's MLS design 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 can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, meaning you won't need extra sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific build requirements; this gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.045 inches and an 89mm bore, designed to match your H22A1 or H22A2 engine.

This gasket is a good choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups, as it's made to withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
