What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets are built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which significantly increases their strength and resistance to corrosion. This design also allows them to rebound and maintain a strong seal under various conditions.

Does this gasket require any special sealants during installation?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require additional sealants. This can simplify the installation process.

What is the purpose of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant elastomer that can withstand high temperatures up to 482°F. It helps ensure a reliable seal in demanding engine environments and is compatible with different block materials.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-2001 Acura Integra, especially for a hybrid LS/VTEC setup, the head gasket is a critical component. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is built with a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, designed to handle the specific demands of mating a VTEC head to a non-VTEC block.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating ensures a reliable seal even under demanding conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, helping to manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a solid option for high-output engines where a dependable seal is paramount.
