About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on the H22A4 or H22A7 engine in your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal for your cylinder head. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it the strength to handle the demands of high-output engines and helps prevent corrosion.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is important because it helps create a reliable seal against various surface finishes and conditions, even when you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or cast iron block. The compressed operating thickness is 0.027 inches, and the gasket is made for an 89mm bore, fitting your Prelude directly without needing extra sealants.
