Cometic Honda H23A1 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87.5mm Bore

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance for your 1992-1996 Honda Prelude's H23A1 engine, especially in high-output situations. The gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and a bore size of 87.5mm, ensuring a precise fit for your engine's needs.

The strength of MLS gaskets comes from their multiple layers of stainless steel, which also help them rebound and resist corrosion. This construction makes them suitable for use with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, allowing for precise tuning.

Because these gaskets are designed for maximum sealing, they typically do not require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. This makes them a solid option whether you're rebuilding your top end or just replacing a worn-out gasket.
