Cometic Honda H23A1 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87.5mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1992-1996 Honda Prelude, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's specifically made for the H23A1 engine and features an 87.5mm bore, ensuring a proper seal between your cylinder head and engine block. This gasket is designed to handle the pressures of higher output engines without needing any extra sealants.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and different surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and sets the gasket's thickness at a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an initial thickness of 0.045 inches. This construction makes it suitable for mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates.
