Product Details

If you're working on the top end of your 2002-2014 Honda CR-V, the Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for sealing the cylinder head to the engine block. This gasket is specifically designed for the Honda K20 and K24 engines, featuring an 88mm bore and a compressed thickness of .036 inches, making it a direct fit for your application.

Cometic builds these MLS gaskets with 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 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal even in demanding conditions.
