About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions for performance engines. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for the demands of high-output Honda K-series engines, specifically the K20 and K24 found in your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, or 2002-2005 Honda Civic. It's designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block, even under significant pressure and heat.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it 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°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's designed to achieve a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches with a bore size of 87mm, making it a good option for rebuilding or modifying your engine.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's suitable for mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can handle the different expansion rates of these materials.
