What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness for this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.051 inches. This measurement is important for maintaining proper compression ratios.

Does this head gasket require any sealant?

No, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures a strong seal on its own.

What makes MLS head gaskets different from traditional ones?

MLS gaskets are made of multiple layers of stainless steel, giving them greater strength and resilience compared to single-layer gaskets. They also rebound better and resist corrosion, making them ideal for high-output engines and different material combinations like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks.

It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring your engine runs smoothly.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and various surface finishes. The compressed thickness of this gasket is 0.051 inches, and it's designed for an 88mm bore, fitting your Prelude's 2.2L VTEC engine perfectly. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
