The Cometic Gasket C4312-060 MLS cylinder head gasket is designed for select Honda K20 and K24 engine applications, including K20A1, K20A2, K20A3, K20Z1, and K24A1 configurations. This automotive sealing component features a multi-layer stainless steel construction with embossed outer layers coated in Viton rubber. It is made to provide dependable sealing performance in demanding high-output engine environments without the use of additional sealants. Verify engine configuration and application details before purchase.

Each outer layer is embossed to help conform load distribution across the sealing area while accommodating a variety of surface finishes and operating conditions. The uncoated stainless steel center, or shim layer, supports the gasket’s layered construction and helps provide increased strength, rebound capability, and corrosion resistance. This design is suitable for applications involving aluminum heads and aluminum blocks, as well as aluminum heads paired with cast iron blocks, where differences in material expansion can create additional shearing forces.

The C4312-060 gasket is manufactured with a specified compressed thickness and an 88 mm bore configuration for compatible Honda K20 and K24 applications. Its construction is intended to require less clamp load, which may help reduce bore distortion while maintaining consistent sealing around the combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil passages. Viton-coated embossed layers are formulated to handle heat and harsh sealing environments, with heat resistance up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Cometic Gasket part offers a practical solution for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, and cylinder head service when matched to the correct application.
