What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.060 inches. This measurement is important for determining the final compression ratio of your engine.

Do I need to use any sealant with this gasket?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a reliable seal.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material. It's used to coat the outer layers of this gasket because it can withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C), which is crucial for sealing in demanding engine environments.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the H22A1 or H22A2 engine in your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and block.

This gasket is constructed with 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for high-output engines. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to achieve specific compression ratios. This particular gasket has an 89mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches, which is a common size for engine rebuilds where a slight adjustment to compression might be desired.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, and it's designed to handle the forces created when mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. This makes it a solid option for both stock and modified engines.
