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 sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of the H22A1 and H22A2 engines.

This gasket is constructed with 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 high temperatures and harsh sealing environments, ensuring a reliable seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .120 inches and is designed for an 88mm bore, matching your Prelude's specifications. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, as they can manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

Because it's an MLS design, this gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It's a well-built component designed for reliable performance in your Prelude's engine.
