What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic head gasket is .075 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring the correct compression ratio and valve-to-piston clearance after installation.

Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The embossed outer layers coated with Viton create a robust seal on their own.

What makes an MLS head gasket different from a traditional one?

Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are made of several layers of stainless steel, offering greater strength and resistance to shearing forces compared to older, single-layer designs. The Viton coating on the outer layers also provides superior heat resistance and sealing capabilities.

About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 2003-2014 Honda CR-V, or other compatible Honda/Acura models, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the job. It's designed specifically for the K20 and K24 series engines, featuring an 86mm bore and a compressed thickness of .075 inches. This gasket is crucial for maintaining a proper seal between your cylinder head and engine block, preventing coolant and oil leaks and ensuring optimal engine performance.

Cometic constructs this MLS gasket using multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating ensures a strong seal even under demanding conditions, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
