The Cometic Gasket Honda B Series Hybrid VTEC Head/Non-VTEC Block MLS Head Gasket is engineered to provide superior sealing performance for high-output engines. Constructed from multiple embossed stainless steel layers, this gasket features outer layers coated with Viton rubber, which offers excellent heat resistance up to 482°F. The compressed thickness of 0.030 inches ensures a tight fit, reducing the risk of leaks under demanding conditions. Designed specifically for use with non-VTEC blocks and VTEC heads, this gasket is ideal for applications involving aluminum heads and aluminum or cast iron blocks, where shearing forces are prevalent. The multi-layer steel (MLS) design enhances strength, rebound, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for high-performance and racing engines. The center shim layer, composed of uncoated stainless steel, can be customized to meet various thickness requirements, providing flexibility for different engine builds.
