About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for Honda B-series engines, specifically for hybrid setups that combine a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads. You get the gasket itself, which is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a solid seal without needing extra sealants.

With a compressed thickness of 0.027 inches and an 84mm bore, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines. The multi-layer design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, making it suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. This construction helps manage the shearing forces that can occur between different block materials.
