The Cometic Gasket Honda Hybrid LS/CRV-VTEC 84.5mm MLS Head Gasket Part C4241-030 is engineered for high-performance applications requiring reliable sealing and durability. Crafted from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, this gasket features outer layers coated with Viton rubber, providing excellent heat resistance and sealing integrity under demanding conditions. The compressed thickness of 0.030 inches ensures a proper fit for a variety of engine configurations, particularly non-VTEC blocks with VTEC heads. This MLS gasket is designed to withstand the shearing forces between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, making it ideal for high-output engines. Its multi-layer construction enhances strength, rebound, and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance. The Viton coating on both sides of the outer layers offers superior sealing in harsh environments, withstanding temperatures up to 482°F, while the uncoated stainless steel shim layer allows for customization to meet specific thickness needs. This gasket is compatible with a wide range of Honda and Acura models, including the 1988-2001 Prelude and Integra, providing a reliable solution for engine rebuilds and upgrades. Its design eliminates the need for sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a secure, leak-free seal for your high-performance engine build.
