About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L VTEC engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's specifically made to seal the 87mm bore of your engine and has a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches, which is important to get right when you're putting the cylinder head back on.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, giving it strength and the ability to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing jobs and different surface finishes. This construction means it seals well without needing any extra sealants, and it's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or an aluminum head to a cast iron block.
