Cometic Honda K20A1/A2/A3 89mm Bore .044 inch MLX Head Gasket

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this MLX head gasket is a solid choice for your Honda K-series engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, or a compatible Honda Civic or CR-V, this gasket is designed to handle the pressures of a high-output engine.

This gasket uses a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction, which means it's made of several layers of stainless steel. This design offers increased strength and helps prevent 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 can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; in this case, it's set to a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches to meet the .044 inch requirement. This construction means you don't need to add any extra sealants, and it's suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks.
