What is the compressed thickness of this head gasket?

The compressed operating thickness of this Cometic MLS head gasket is 0.075 inches. This measurement is achieved through the specific layering and materials used in its construction.

What is Viton coating and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a heat-resistant rubber material used as a coating on the outer layers of the gasket. It's designed to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal under engine operating conditions.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your 2.2L VTEC engine.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket requires no additional sealants and is suitable for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the stresses between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to achieve the specified compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches, with an 88mm bore designed for your Prelude's engine.

This gasket is a well-built option for your H22A1 or H22A2 engine, offering reliable sealing performance for high-output applications.
