Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC 81mm 90+ B18 w/ VTEC Head .120 inch MLS Head Gasket

This product is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic, designed specifically for certain Honda B-series engines. You get one MLS head gasket with a compressed thickness of 0.120 inches and an 81mm bore, suitable for applications using VTEC heads with a non-VTEC block. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines without needing additional sealants.

Cometic constructs these gaskets 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°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.120 inches found in this particular gasket. This construction makes them a solid option for mating aluminum heads to aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from the different metals.

This gasket is a direct fit for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V and also fits the 1988-1991 Honda Prelude. Ensure your engine configuration matches the VTEC head/non-VTEC block requirement for proper installation.
