Cometic MLS Head Gasket 82mm .030" for Select 1988-2001 Honda & Acura LS/VTEC Hybrid (C4191-030)

Fits select 1988-2001 Acura Integra, Honda CR-V, and Honda Prelude models equipped with LS/VTEC or B20/VTEC hybrid engine configurations.

The Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is specifically engineered to provide a superior seal for high-output Honda B-series "Frankenstein" builds. Designed to mate a non-VTEC block with a VTEC cylinder head, this gasket features a triple-layer stainless steel construction that handles the increased cylinder pressures and thermal expansion of performance engines. The multi-layer design allows the gasket to rebound under load, ensuring a reliable seal without the need for additional copper sprays or sealants.
