The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Acura Integra B18A/B18B is a high-performance sealing component designed for optimal durability and reliability in demanding engine environments. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers increased strength, excellent rebound properties, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating enhances sealing performance under harsh conditions, while the center shim layer provides precise compression and load distribution. The gasket's design ensures a secure seal between the cylinder head and engine block, reducing the risk of leaks and maintaining consistent compression for improved engine efficiency and power output.

This gasket is specifically engineered for 81.5mm bore applications on the B18A/B18B engines in Acura Integras, suitable for non-VTEC DOHC configurations. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM gaskets, offering a reliable upgrade for rebuilds, performance modifications, or restoration projects. The gasket is compatible with engines from the early 1990s to the late 1990s, ensuring proper fitment for vehicles within this range. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Ideal for street, track, or daily driving applications, this MLS gasket provides a durable, high-quality seal to support enhanced engine performance and longevity.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
