About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for specific Honda B-series engine configurations, particularly the hybrid LS/VTEC setup where you have a non-VTEC block paired with a VTEC head. You get one MLS head gasket in this package, measuring 83mm for the bore and with a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, helping to manage the stresses between different metals.
