About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, or a compatible Honda Civic or CR-V with a K-series engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to 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 block and head materials, including aluminum and cast iron. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and is .060 inches oversized for a 90mm bore.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This gasket is a popular choice for K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, and K24A1 engines.
