Cometic HP MLS Head Gasket - K20C1 - Choose bore and thickness in drop-down
Cometic's HP MLS (multi-layered Steel) gaskets are comprised of multiple embossed layers of both proprietary high temperature coated and uncoated stainless steel, requiring less clamp load, creating less bore distortion, and conforms load distribution across the sealing area. The embossed outer layers of our head gaskets meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The MLS Gasket (Multi-Layer Steel) features an active combustion seal on multiple layers.

An additional HP Shim Layer is added to provide increased stress around the combustion seal. Proprietary high temperature coatings along with embossments provide a micro seal for fluids against the head and block surface.
Civic Type R NOTES
Which bore size do I use?
The 87mm bore option WILL WORK on 86(stock) and 86.5mm bores without issue. However, you cannot use a smaller gasket on a larger bore.
Thicknesses
0.028" is closest to OEM.
0.042" May aid in dropping compression slightly (for use with higher HP engines 500HP+)
Head studs?
We recommend the inlinePro Xtreme Duty Stud kit for all K20C engines https://1to1tuning.co/products/inlinepro-xtreme-duty-head-stud-kit-k20c-fk8
These gaskets are typically made to order, so allow 1-2 weeks before they ship. Order ahead of time for a project!
