About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions, 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 for your cylinder head.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to meet specific requirements, in this case, a compressed operating thickness of 0.070 inches with an 88mm bore. These MLS gaskets are suitable for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. They also don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
