Cometic 84mm .051" MLS Head Gasket for Honda/Acura 1988-2001 Hybrid LS/VTEC Swaps (C4193-051)

Fits select 1988-2001 Acura Integra, Honda CR-V, and Honda Prelude models. This Cometic Hybrid LS/VTEC head gasket is engineered specifically for enthusiasts mating a non-VTEC block (B18A/B or B20) with a VTEC cylinder head.

Constructed from Multi-Layer Steel (MLS), this gasket features embossed stainless steel outer layers coated with Viton, a high-temperature fluor elastomer rubber. This design ensures a superior seal in harsh combustion environments, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). The MLS architecture provides the necessary rebound and corrosion resistance to handle the different expansion rates of aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, while requiring less clamp load than traditional gaskets to minimize bore distortion.
