MLS Head Gasket 0.036 Inch 87mm Bore

The Cometic C4619-036 is a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket engineered to provide maximum sealing performance for high-output engines, preventing the mixing of gases and oils with the cooling system. Constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, this gasket features a heat-resistant Viton rubber coating on its outer surfaces. The compressed operating thickness is 0.036 inches, with an 87mm bore diameter. The MLS design offers increased strength, improved rebound capabilities, and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for applications involving aluminum heads mated to either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the gasket does not require additional sealants. This head gasket is specifically designed for 1994-2002 Honda Accord models equipped with the F22 or F23 engine. Ensuring the head gasket is in good condition is crucial, especially when increasing a vehicle's horsepower, to prevent potential engine damage. Cometic products are manufactured in the United States using materials sourced domestically. The company has grown from its origins in the powersports industry to become a global leader in engine sealing solutions, serving a wide range of automotive and industrial markets.
