The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Honda Civic 1.7L D17A1, D17A2, and D17A6 models is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of enduring temperatures up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating provides excellent sealing in harsh environments, ensuring durability and reliability under high load and thermal stress. The MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) design promotes uniform load distribution and superior sealing performance, making it suitable for both stock and modified engines seeking improved compression and reliability.

This gasket is specifically engineered for Honda Civic models equipped with 1.7L D17A1, D17A2, and D17A6 engines, featuring a bore size of 77mm and a thickness of .027 inches. It is a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets, offering a precise fit for compatible engine configurations. Ideal for performance applications, including street and track use, this gasket ensures optimal sealing and engine integrity during high-performance driving or tuning. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself, designed to meet or exceed OEM standards for durability and sealing performance.

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.
