Cometic Honda K20/K24 86mm Head Gasket .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring outer layers coated with Viton rubber. The compressed operating thickness measures 0.040 inches, and it's designed for an 86mm bore, making it a solid choice for Honda K20 and K24 engines found in vehicles like the 2003-2014 Honda CR-V.

MLS gaskets are ideal for sealing aluminum heads to both aluminum and cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar metals. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing the gasket to rebound. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 F (250 C), designed to perform in demanding sealing environments and on various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for different thickness requirements.
