About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a Honda B-series engine build, specifically a hybrid LS/VTEC setup using a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is designed to seal your engine reliably. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to shearing forces, making it suitable for mating aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in demanding sealing environments.

This gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.120 inches and an 81.5mm bore, fitting the specific requirements for these hybrid engine configurations. The Multi-Layer Steel construction not only adds strength but also allows the gasket to rebound and resist corrosion, while the Viton coating ensures a tight seal without needing additional sealants. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, though this specific part is set at 0.120 inches.
