Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/CRV-VTEC 84.5M .045 inch MLS Head Gasket B18/B20 w/VTEC Head

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed specifically for hybrid Honda B-series engine setups, pairing a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads, and features a bore size of 84.5mm with a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches.

MLS gaskets are a solid choice for high-output engines because they offer maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. They work well with both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block combinations, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from different metal types. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength, resist corrosion, and allow the gasket to rebound, ensuring a consistent seal over time.
