About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with an embossed center shim layer of stainless steel, designed to be 0.075 inches thick when compressed. It's specifically made for the Honda H22A4 and H22A7 engines found in the 1997-2001 Prelude. MLS gaskets are a strong choice because they're made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape under stress.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating, combined with the embossed layers, helps create a solid seal between your aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, even with the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
