About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2003-2006 Honda CR-V, or 2002-2005 Honda Civic, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice for sealing your cylinder head to the block. It's designed with a 90mm bore and a compressed thickness of .036 inches, making it suitable for engines like the K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, and K24A1.

This gasket is built from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, and it works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, handling the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.
