About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Honda K-series engine, specifically for a 2003-2011 Honda Element, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and ensures a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, including aluminum to cast iron. The compressed thickness of this gasket is .066 inches, and it's designed for an 87mm bore, making it suitable for K20 and K24 engines. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants.

This gasket is a solid option for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron setups, as it's designed to manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.
