What is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

A Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is made of several layers of stainless steel. This design offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion compared to single-layer gaskets. The outer layers are often coated with materials like Viton for enhanced sealing.

Does this Cometic head gasket require sealant?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance on its own and does not require any additional sealants.

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

Viton is a heat-resistant synthetic rubber material. It's used to coat the outer layers of this head gasket to meet the demands of harsh sealing environments and high temperatures, ensuring a reliable seal.

Product Details

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for your 1993-1996 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L VTEC engine. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, featuring an embossed outer layer coated with Viton rubber.

The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this specific gasket having a compressed operating thickness of 0.098 inches and an 89mm bore.
