Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC 82mm 90+ B18 w/ VTEC Head .045 inch MLS Head Gasket

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 Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built with a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches and an 82mm bore, designed to handle the specific demands of these engine configurations.

Cometic constructs these gaskets from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This makes them suitable for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise from different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.

This gasket is a solid option for high-output engines, and it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation, simplifying the process. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and reliably.
