Cometic C4253-030 Head Gasket

(H22A4 - Diameter 88MM - MLS .030") Built for the (97-01) Honda Prelude... The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of stainless steel. Cometic uses stainless steel for increased strength, rebound ability, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a fluoroelastomer rubber (Viton) based material designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, loading conditions, and surface finishes. The Viton lining is heat resistant up to 2500C or 4820F. The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated stainless steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks. The MLS composition will also resist the shear forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. Retorque is required. By design, the MLS gasket promotes uniform torque loading across the sealing surface, allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
