About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for your Honda K20 or K24 engine, specifically designed for an 86mm bore and a compressed thickness of .036 inches. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

Comprised of multiple stainless steel layers, this gasket offers 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 without needing additional sealants. This makes it suitable for applications with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, with this particular gasket set to a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches. This design helps provide maximum sealing performance for engines that might be running at higher outputs.
