About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping that 2.2L VTEC engine running right. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of high-output engines.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that seals well against aluminum or cast iron blocks and heads, even with different expansion rates. This gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.060 inches and an 88mm bore, designed to fit the H22A1 and H22A2 engines without needing any extra sealants.
