Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/CRV-VTEC 84.5M .040 inch MLS Head Gasket B18/B20 w/VTEC Head

If you're working on a Honda B-series engine with a non-VTEC block and VTEC heads, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice. It's specifically designed for that hybrid setup, ensuring a proper seal between your block and head. The gasket has a 0.040 inch compressed thickness and an 84.5mm bore, which is important for matching your engine's specifications.

Cometic builds these gaskets with 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 degrees Fahrenheit. This combination helps create a reliable seal that doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as they can manage the stresses between different metals.
