About this part

Product Details

If you're building a Honda B-series hybrid engine with a non-VTEC block and a VTEC head, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is what you need. It's specifically designed for that LS/VTEC setup, ensuring a proper seal between your block and head. The 82mm bore size is perfect for many common B-series engine builds.

This gasket is well-built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes. With a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches, it's designed to maintain proper compression ratios for these specific engine configurations. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
