What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

When properly installed and compressed, this head gasket has an operating thickness of 0.036 inches. This is determined by the multiple layers of stainless steel that make up its construction.

Does this gasket require any additional sealants?

No, Cometic's Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require the use of additional sealants.

What is the benefit of the Viton coating on the outer layers?

The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant rubber material that helps the gasket meet the demands of harsh sealing environments, varying load conditions, and different surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the engine of your 2002-2006 Acura RSX, or a compatible Honda CR-V or Civic from the early 2000s, this gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block. It's built to handle the demands of modern, higher-output engines without needing any extra sealants.

This gasket uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches and an 87mm bore, making it suitable for specific engine builds. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for pairing different block and head materials, like aluminum heads with cast iron blocks, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise.
