About this part

Product Details

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 to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines, and at a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches with an 86mm bore, it's a solid choice for your Honda K20 or K24 engine.

MLS gaskets are well-built for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The multiple stainless steel layers give this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is tough enough for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes, and it means you won't need to use any extra sealants during installation.

This gasket is specifically made for models like the Acura RSX, Honda Accord, CR-V, Civic, and Element. If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, this gasket offers a durable and reliable sealing solution.
