About this part

Product Details

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 working on a Honda B-series engine that uses a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads, like in many 1990-2001 Acura Integras or certain CR-Vs and Preludes, this gasket is designed to seal that specific combination effectively.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This combination ensures a strong seal, even with different block and head materials like aluminum and cast iron, and it doesn't require any additional sealants to do its job. The compressed thickness is 0.036 inches, which is a common spec for these hybrid setups.
