About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines, offering a well-built solution for your H22A4 or H22A7 engine.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal between your aluminum cylinder head and block, whether it's cast iron or aluminum. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.120 inches and an 89mm bore, designed to fit your Prelude's specific engine configuration. These gaskets are designed to seal effectively without the need for additional sealants.
