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 create a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

What you get here is a well-built gasket constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. This design means it doesn't need any extra sealants to do its job. The compressed thickness is set at 0.051 inches, which is a common spec for these engines, and the stainless steel layers give it strength and resistance to corrosion.

This MLS gasket is a solid option for high-output engines, offering improved sealing performance compared to older gasket designs.
