Cometic Honda K20A2/K20A3/K20Z1/K24A1 .018in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 87mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example for your Honda K-series engine. If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, or a compatible Honda CR-V or Civic, this gasket is designed to handle the demands of higher output engines.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it increased strength and the ability to rebound. 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 harsh sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this particular gasket having a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches from its initial .018 inch thickness. This design makes it suitable for mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants.
