About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, especially for a B18 or B20 engine with a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these hybrid setups.

Cometic's MLS design 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 high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and provides a strong seal against the cylinder head and block. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, helping to prevent issues from dissimilar metals expanding at different rates.

With a compressed thickness of 0.098 inches and an 84mm bore, this gasket is specifically designed for those hybrid B-series engine builds. It's a well-built component that aims to provide a dependable seal for your engine's combustion chambers.
