What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

An MLS head gasket is made of multiple layers of stainless steel. This construction offers increased strength and better sealing capabilities compared to older gasket types, making it a popular choice for performance and demanding applications.

What does the Viton coating do?

The Viton rubber coating on the outer layers helps create a strong seal in harsh engine environments. It's resistant to high temperatures, up to 482°F, and can handle various load conditions and surface finishes on your engine block and cylinder head.

What does the .018 inch thickness and 84.5mm bore mean?

The 84.5mm bore size indicates the diameter of the cylinder opening this gasket is designed to seal. The 0.018 inch thickness is a specific measurement that affects compression ratio and is important for proper engine assembly, especially in modified engines.

About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your Honda B-series engine. Specifically, this gasket is built for the hybrid setup where you might have a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block, common in builds for the 1990-2001 Acura Integra, 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, and 1988-1991 Honda Prelude.

Cometic builds this gasket using three to five layers of stainless steel. That stainless steel gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion and rebound well under pressure. The outer layers are embossed and then coated on both sides with Viton, a rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F and various sealing demands. This means it's well-built to handle the conditions inside your engine.

This particular gasket is sized for an 84.5mm bore and is 0.018 inches thick, which is a common size for many B-series builds. It's a well-made component designed to help ensure a good seal between your cylinder head and engine block.
