Cometic C4522-040 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Honda Bore - D16A1 75.5mm 040 Inch

The Cometic C4522-040 is a multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered for Honda D16A1, D16A2, D16A8, and D16A9 DOHC 1.6L engines. This gasket features a 75.5mm bore diameter with a .040 inch compressed thickness, making it ideal for performance builds and engine rebuilds requiring precise combustion sealing.

Advanced Multi-Layer Steel Construction:

• Constructed from three to five layers of spring stainless steel for increased strength over standard head gaskets
• Outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber material heat resistant to 250°C (482°F)
• Center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements
• Reduces bore distortion, resists corrosive substances, and has excellent rebound qualities

Key Benefits:

• Provides maximum sealing performance for high output engines and requires no sealants
• Ideal for aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, withstanding shearing forces created by different materials
• Designed to provide the best seal for naturally-aspirated, boosted, or nitrous-fed engines
• No re-torquing required after installation

This gasket is designed for 1986-89 Acura Integra and 1988-91 Honda Civic/CRX equipped with D16A series engines. The precision-engineered design ensures reliable sealing under extreme cylinder pressures while maintaining optimal compression ratios for performance applications.
