About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Honda K20 and K24 engines, specifically for your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, or 2002-2005 Honda Civic. A head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and preventing coolant and oil from mixing, so having a well-built one is key to engine health, especially in higher-output applications.

Cometic builds this gasket with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and rebound resistance, which helps it handle the forces generated between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. 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 in tough sealing environments. This gasket has a compressed thickness of .070 inches and an 88mm bore, making it suitable for engines that have been modified or rebuilt. Because it's an MLS gasket with Viton coating, it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation.
