Cometic C4524-030 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket Bore Honda - 76mm 030 D16A1

The Cometic C4524-030 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for Honda D16A1, D16A2, D16A8, D16A9, and ZC DOHC engines found in 1986-1989 Honda Civic, Civic Si, CRX, and Acura Integra models. This gasket features a 76mm bore diameter with a compressed thickness of .030 inches, providing an optimal seal for both stock rebuilds and performance applications.

Key Features:

• 3-layer stainless steel construction for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• Viton-coated outer layers provide excellent sealing across harsh environments and varied surface finishes
• Heat resistant to 482°F (250°C) for extreme operating conditions
• Valve pocketed bore design accommodates valve clearance requirements
• Load-controlled embossments distribute clamping force evenly across sealing surface
• Reduces bore distortion compared to conventional gaskets
• No sealants required—gasket is pre-coated and installs dry
• No re-torque necessary after installation

Cometic MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine combinations, withstanding the shearing forces created by dissimilar materials. The multi-layer design provides maximum sealing performance for naturally aspirated, turbocharged, or nitrous-fed applications while maintaining excellent rebound characteristics for long-term durability.
