The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Acura Integra is a high-performance multi-layer steel gasket designed to provide reliable sealing for B18A and B18B engines with an 82mm bore. Constructed from three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers increased strength, excellent rebound, 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 design ensures durability under harsh conditions, maintaining a tight seal during high-performance or demanding applications. The gasket's precise engineering helps prevent leaks and withstands thermal expansion, making it suitable for both stock and modified engine setups.

This gasket is intended for use with Acura Integra models equipped with B18A or B18B engines, typically from 1988 to 2001. It serves as a direct replacement for stock head gaskets, providing an upgrade for improved sealing performance in high-stress environments. The kit includes the MLS gasket with the specified bore size and coating, designed for easy installation on compatible engines. Ideal for street, track, or performance applications, this gasket ensures reliable sealing and engine integrity under various driving conditions. Proper installation and torque specifications are recommended to maximize its benefits.

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.
