About this part

Product Details

If you're building a hybrid LS/VTEC engine for your 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice. It's specifically designed for setups using a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads, and it has a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches with an 81mm bore. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to cast iron. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet specific requirements, which is how they achieve the 0.060 inch compressed thickness for this particular gasket. These MLS gaskets don't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
