Cometic Honda Hybrid LS/VTEC MLS Head Gasket - 84mm Bore .030" - Select Acura/Honda 1988-2001 (C4193-030)

Fits select 1988-2001 Acura Integra, Honda CR-V, and Honda Prelude models utilizing an LS/VTEC hybrid engine configuration (B18A/B block with a VTEC head).

Specifically engineered for the requirements of LS/VTEC hybrid builds, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket provides a reliable seal for high-output B-series engines. By combining multiple layers of embossed 304 stainless steel, this gasket creates a spring-like effect that maintains a consistent seal even under the extreme cylinder pressures and thermal expansion common in performance Honda builds. The outer layers are finished with a Viton rubber coating, rated for temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), allowing the gasket to conform to various surface finishes and load conditions without the need for additional sealants.

The 84mm bore size makes this an ideal choice for overbored B18 or B20 blocks, ensuring the fire ring is properly positioned for maximum sealing efficiency. With a compressed thickness of .030 inches, it maintains factory-style tolerances while providing the durability required for forced induction or high-compression naturally aspirated setups.
