About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.070 inches and an 89mm bore, specifically for the Honda H22A4 and H22A7 engines found in the 1997-2001 Prelude. MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them the strength to handle shearing forces between aluminum and cast iron blocks, and also helps them resist corrosion and rebound. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, meaning you don't need extra sealants for a reliable seal.

The center layer of stainless steel can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.070 inches on this particular gasket, allowing for precise adjustments in your engine build. This well-built gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance, making it a solid option for rebuilding or upgrading your Prelude's engine.
