Cometic Honda D15Z1/D16Y5/D16Y7/D16Y8/D16Z6 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 77mm Bore

The Cometic C4196-098 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for specific Honda engines. It features a 77mm bore size and a .098 inch thickness. This gasket is engineered with HP shim technology to increase clampload around the combustion chamber, enhancing its sealability, particularly on open deck blocks.

Head gaskets are critical engine components that sit between the engine block and cylinder head. Their primary function is to prevent the mixing of combustion gasses, oils, and coolant. A failing head gasket can lead to severe engine damage. Ensuring the head gasket is in good condition is recommended, especially if increasing horsepower. Cometic products are manufactured in the United States.
