About this part

Product Details

You're looking at a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket specifically made for your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude with the H22A4 or H22A7 engine. This gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

This gasket is built 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 temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating helps ensure a tight seal even under demanding conditions, and the gasket's compressed operating thickness is 0.027 inches. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks.
