Product Description

The Cometic C4193-051 is a high-performance MLS head gasket engineered for Honda/Acura B-series engines with an 84 mm bore - particularly for hybrids using an LS or VTEC head on a non-VTEC block. Its three-layer stainless steel construction, paired with Viton-coated outer layers, provides excellent sealing under high stress and temperature, all while handling the shearing forces between different metals.

With a compressed thickness of 0.051", this gasket accommodates moderate deck variances and maintains a secure micro-seal across the combustion surface. The symmetric design makes installation easier, and its dry-install capability means there's no need for sealant or re-torquing. Ideal for performance builds, OEM rebuilds, or boosted applications in B-series engines - particularly in the Integra, CR-V, or Prelude.
