About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.040 inches and an 88mm bore, making it a solid choice for your Honda K20 or K24 engine. MLS gaskets are known for their strength and ability to seal effectively in demanding conditions, whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They can handle the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The construction features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit and various harsh sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, which allows for different thickness requirements. These gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants.
