Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC 82mm 90+ B18 w/ VTEC Head .060 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're building a Honda B-series hybrid engine with a non-VTEC block and VTEC heads, getting the right head gasket is crucial for sealing. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is specifically designed for those LS/VTEC setups, ensuring a solid seal between your block and head.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and maintain its seal over time. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches, which is important for achieving the correct compression ratio in your hybrid build. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket is suitable for use with both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
