What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.075 inches. This measurement is important for maintaining the correct compression ratio in your engine.

Does this gasket require any sealant during installation?

No, Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are designed to provide a maximum seal without the need for additional sealants. They are engineered to seal effectively on their own.

What does 'Non-VTEC block with VTEC Heads' mean for my engine?

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, especially a hybrid setup with a non-VTEC block and VTEC heads, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of performance engines.

This gasket features 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 provides a strong seal against the block and head surfaces, even with different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve the specific compressed thickness of 0.075 inches, which is important for maintaining proper compression ratios in your B18 or B20 engine with VTEC heads.

Cometic MLS gaskets are designed for a tight seal without the need for additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This gasket is specifically designed for hybrid applications, matching non-VTEC blocks with VTEC heads for your Integra.
