Cometic Honda H23A1 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 88mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it the strength to handle high output engines and resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for demanding sealing environments.

This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 88mm bore, making it a specific fit for certain engine builds. The multi-layer steel construction means it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.098 inches specified for this part number, allowing for precise engine assembly.
