Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/CRV-VTEC 85mm .056 inch MLS Head Gasket B18/B20 w/VTEC Head

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.056 inches, making it a solid choice for your Honda B-series engine build, especially when you're combining a VTEC head with a non-VTEC block. MLS gaskets are well-built for high-output engines because they use multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them strength and resistance to corrosion. They also have the ability to rebound, which helps maintain a strong seal over time.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to work well in tough sealing environments and on various surface finishes, whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.056 inches found here, to meet specific engine requirements. Because they are MLS, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
