What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets, like this Cometic C4241-027, are made of multiple stainless steel layers. This construction provides increased strength and better resistance to corrosion compared to older gasket types.

What does the Viton coating on the outer layers do?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that helps create a strong seal. It's designed to withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C), and works effectively with various engine block and cylinder head materials.

Does this gasket require any special sealants during installation?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own. It does not require any additional sealants, which can simplify the installation process.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, especially a B18 or B20 engine with a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these hybrid setups, providing a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.027 inches, with an 84.5mm bore, making it suitable for specific engine configurations like the Honda B Series hybrid setups mentioned.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. It's a well-built option for those looking to ensure a proper seal during engine assembly.
