Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/CRV-VTEC 84.5M .080 inch MLS Head Gasket B18/B20 w/VTEC Head

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Honda B-series engine build. If you're putting together a hybrid setup with a non-VTEC block and VTEC heads, this gasket is designed to handle the specific demands of that combination. It's built to provide maximum sealing performance, especially for engines that see higher output.

This gasket 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 temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is crucial for meeting the challenges of harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with aluminum blocks or aluminum heads with cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specific 0.080-inch compressed thickness needed for this application.

This particular gasket is specified for a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads and features an 84.5mm bore. It's designed to be a direct fit and requires no additional sealants, making installation straightforward.
