Cometic multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets for the Honda and Acura B-Series DOHC VTEC engines are comprised of three layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel for increased strength, it's ability to rebound, and improved corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton rubber to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes.
Cometic's Viton coating is heat resistant to 250°C or 482°F. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
Replacing your head gasket? Don't forget to add an ARP Head Stud Kit to your order. The OEM Head Bolts are a torque-to-yield design and cannot be re-used again after removing the cylinder head to replace the head gasket.
