About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of a well-tuned H22A4 or H22A7 engine.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that ensures a tight seal against both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, even under demanding conditions. This gasket has a compressed thickness of .030 inches and an 89mm bore, making it a direct fit for your Prelude's specific engine configuration. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
