Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC 84mm .030 inch MLS Head Gasket B18A/B w/VTEC Head

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed specifically for Honda B-series engines that use a non-VTEC block with a VTEC head, offering a compressed thickness of 0.030 inches and an 84mm bore. This construction makes it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks, or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals.

The strength of this MLS gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also help it resist corrosion and maintain its shape. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for variations in thickness to meet different engine requirements. Because it's a well-built MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a reliable seal for high-output engines.
