Cometic Gaskets .040" MLS Cylinder Head Gasket for Honda/Acura 1.6L SOHC D16 Series, 77mm Bore - C4196-040

If you’re diving into the world of Honda engines, you’ve probably heard about the Cometic MLS Head Gasket. This isn’t just any gasket; it’s built for those of us who push our D16s to the limit. Designed for the Honda/Acura D16Z6, D16Y5, D16Y7, and D16Y8 1.6L SOHC engines, this gasket measures in at a precise 77mm bore diameter with a compressed thickness of just .040 inches.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. We’re talking about multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it some serious strength. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a tough rubber that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This means you can trust it to seal up tight without needing any messy sealants. It’s perfect whether you’re running aluminum heads on aluminum blocks or mixing it up with cast iron.

But let’s get into the nitty-gritty of why this matters. The MLS design can take the shearing forces between different materials, which is crucial for maintaining that perfect seal. Plus, the uncoated stainless steel shim layer can be adjusted for thickness, giving you flexibility depending on your setup.

Here’s where it fits: if you’re working on a 1997-2000 Acura EL, 1992-2000 Honda Civic, or a 1993-1997 Honda del Sol, this gasket is a solid choice. It’s built for the 1.6L 4-cylinder engines, so you know it’s going to fit right without any fuss.

  • Bore Diameter: 77mm
  • Engine: Honda/Acura D16Z6/D16Y5/D16Y7/D16Y8 1.6L SOHC
  • Thickness: .040"

In short, if you’re looking to keep your Honda engine running strong and reliable, this Cometic MLS Head Gasket is worth considering. It’s tough, reliable, and designed for performance, just like your ride.
