About this part

Product Details

This is a Cometic MLX cylinder head gasket designed for Honda K-series engines, specifically the K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, and K24A1 found in vehicles like the 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, and 2002-2005 Honda Civic. A head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber, preventing coolant and oil leaks, and maintaining proper compression. This gasket is .040 inches thick and features an 89mm bore, making it suitable for specific engine builds or rebuilds.

The MLX gasket from Cometic is a well-built option for those rebuilding or modifying their K-series engine. Its multi-layer steel construction offers good sealing performance under demanding conditions. The .040 inch thickness is often chosen when a slight increase in compression ratio is desired, or to account for block decking during an engine rebuild. It’s important to ensure your engine block and cylinder head surfaces are properly prepared and flat before installing this gasket for optimal sealing.
