What is the main advantage of an MLS head gasket?

Multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets are built to handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets. Their layered steel construction and heat-activated embossments create a more robust seal, especially in performance or boosted engines.

What does the 87mm bore size refer to?

The 87mm bore size indicates the diameter of the cylinder that the gasket is designed to seal. This specific gasket is made for engines with an 87mm cylinder bore, which is a common size for certain K-series Honda and Acura engines.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for installation.

Product Details

This is a Wiseco Sport Compact Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, designed for K20A1, A2, and A3 engines with an 87mm bore. It's built to handle the tough conditions found in performance applications, especially those with added boost or nitrous. This gasket fits a range of popular Honda and Acura vehicles, including models like the Acura RSX, Honda Civic, and Honda Accord.

The MLS construction uses high-pressure steel laminates, which are crucial for managing the significant sheer forces that can develop between an aluminum cylinder head and an iron engine block. Inside, you'll find embossments that expand with heat. This feature helps create an even tighter seal as the engine works harder under high combustion pressures and temperatures, ensuring reliable performance when you need it most.
