The Cometic Gasket Honda D16A1/2/8/9 75.5mm .030 inch MLS head gasket is engineered to deliver superior sealing performance for high-output engines. Constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, the gasket features outer layers coated with Viton rubber, which is heat-resistant up to 482°F. This design ensures enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand the shearing forces created between aluminum heads and cast iron blocks or aluminum heads to aluminum blocks. The compressed operating thickness of 0.030 inches provides an optimal seal, eliminating the need for additional sealants and ensuring a reliable fit for your engine rebuild or upgrade. The center or shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for customization to meet specific thickness requirements, making this gasket versatile for various applications. Its robust multilayer construction and Viton coating collectively improve the gasket's rebound capacity and resistance to harsh environments, ensuring long-lasting performance under demanding conditions. Suitable for 1986-1989 Acura Integra models, this gasket is designed to meet the needs of enthusiasts seeking high-quality, durable sealing solutions for their engines. Easy to install and compatible with both aluminum and cast iron components, it's an essential component for maintaining engine integrity and performance during high-stress operation.
