Supertech Honda B16A/B18C 81.5mm Dia 0.85mm (.033in) Thick MLS Head Gasket

This product is a Supertech Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for Honda B16A and B18C engines. It features an 81.5mm bore diameter and a thickness of 0.85mm, or about 0.033 inches. MLS head gaskets are known for their ability to handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets, making them a solid choice for performance builds or when rebuilding an engine.

The multi-layer construction uses multiple stainless steel layers with a specialized coating to create a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. This design helps prevent leaks and maintain compression, especially under demanding conditions. Installing a new head gasket is a common step when addressing issues like coolant leaks into the combustion chamber or oil passages, or as part of a more extensive engine overhaul.
