Cometic K20/K24 87.5mm Bore .030 Inch MLS Head Gasket
The reliable seal your Honda or Acura K-series engine demands with the Cometic K20/K24 87.5mm Bore .030 Inch MLS Head Gasket (SKU: H2004SP1030S, UPC: 191070005917). Engineered for high-performance applications, this multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket delivers consistent compression and withstands extreme pressures, making it the dependable option for enthusiasts building or maintaining turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated setups. Compared to traditional composite gaskets, the MLS design provides enhanced durability against head lift and coolant leaks, ensuring your engine runs efficiently under demanding conditions like track days or daily driving.
This head gasket features a precise 87.5mm bore (0.060 inches over stock) and 0.030-inch (0.76mm) thickness, allowing for accurate cylinder head alignment and optimal quench for improved combustion efficiency. The reinforced stainless steel core, combined with graphite and composite outer layers, seals effectively between aluminum heads and blocks, preventing gas and oil intrusion into the cooling system. It's a direct fit for K20 and K24 engines, supporting builds from stock refreshes to high-boost modifications.
