What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

This Cometic MLS head gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring proper compression ratios and valve-to-piston clearance in your engine build.

What is Viton coating and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures and harsh sealing environments. Coating the outer layers of the gasket with Viton helps ensure a strong, reliable seal against combustion pressures and engine fluids.

Can this gasket be used with both aluminum and cast iron blocks?

Yes, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to work well with both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They are built to withstand the shearing forces that can occur between different metal types.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on a Honda B-series engine with a non-VTEC block and a VTEC head, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you need. It's specifically designed for those hybrid setups, ensuring a solid seal between your block and head. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, making it a reliable choice for your build.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants, and it's well-suited for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the stresses that come from different metals working together. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches and an 84mm bore.
