Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC - B18A/B W/VTEC Head 81mm bore .075 inch thick MLS Head Gasket

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with a compressed thickness of 0.075 inches and an 81mm bore, specifically designed for Honda B-series engines that use a non-VTEC block with VTEC heads. It’s a well-built component that helps ensure a strong seal between your engine block and cylinder head, crucial for maintaining compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

The construction features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, which offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This 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 from the different expansion rates of these materials. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for varied thickness requirements.

This gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines and does not require any additional sealants for installation. It's a solid option for rebuilding or repairing your engine, ensuring reliable performance.
