What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets offer superior sealing compared to traditional composite gaskets. The multiple steel layers provide strength and resilience, allowing them to better handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures common in performance or rebuilt engines.

What does the .040 inch thickness and 90mm bore mean for my engine?

The .040 inch thickness is a specific dimension that affects the compression ratio of your engine. The 90mm bore is the diameter of the cylinder opening the gasket is designed to seal. These dimensions must match your engine's specifications for proper fitment and performance.

Does this gasket come with installation hardware or instructions?

This product is the head gasket itself. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for the correct torque specifications and sequence, as well as any specific hardware or sealants required for your particular engine build.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Honda K-series engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built for the job, designed to handle the pressures and temperatures found in performance applications. It's a popular choice for many Honda and Acura models, including the RSX, Accord, Civic, and CR-V, offering a reliable seal for your engine.

This gasket uses multiple layers of steel to create a strong, durable seal. Each layer is embossed and coated with Viton, a high-performance synthetic rubber that helps ensure a tight seal even under demanding conditions. The 90mm bore and .040 inch thickness are specific dimensions to match certain K20 and K24 engine configurations, ensuring it fits right where it needs to. Cometic uses advanced materials and manufacturing processes to create gaskets that stand up to the rigors of engine operation.

When installing, always refer to the manufacturer's specific torque sequence and specifications for your engine to ensure proper gasket seating and long-term performance. This gasket is a well-built component for anyone looking to maintain or improve their K-series engine's integrity.
