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 solid head gasket is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, ensuring 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 surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the desired compressed operating thickness, which is .060 inches for this particular gasket. This construction means it can effectively seal between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

This gasket is designed for an 89mm bore and doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built option for those looking for reliable sealing in their K20 or K24 engine build.
