About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a 1990-2001 Acura Integra, or a compatible Honda CR-V or Prelude from the specified years, and you're building a hybrid engine setup with a VTEC head on a non-VTEC block, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is what you need. It's specifically designed to seal the combustion chamber between the cylinder head and the engine block, ensuring proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

This gasket is well-built 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 temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for high-output engines. The compressed thickness is .036 inches, and it features an 85mm bore, designed to work with specific B-series engine configurations. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
