About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches, specifically for the 1993-1996 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L VTEC H22 engine. MLS gaskets are a strong choice for high-output engines because they are made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives them increased strength and resistance to corrosion. They also have the ability to rebound, helping to maintain a seal under stress.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is designed to perform well in harsh sealing environments and under various load conditions, making it suitable for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control.

Because it's a Multi-Layer Steel design, this gasket requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation. It's a well-built component designed to provide maximum sealing performance for your Prelude's engine.
