About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for sealing the combustion chamber. It's specifically made for the H22A4 and H22A7 engines, with an 88mm bore and a compressed thickness of .080 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands 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 can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. This construction means the gasket can handle the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks without needing additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different requirements, which is how they achieve the .080 inch compressed thickness for this specific application.
