73.5mm MLS Head Gasket .024 Honda L15 wo/VTEC

The 73.5mm MLS Head Gasket .024 Honda L15 wo/VTEC by Cometic Gaskets is designed for builders and mechanics who require reliability in high-compression or modified Honda L-series applications. This multi-layer steel gasket effectively addresses the critical sealing challenge between the cylinder head and block, where combustion pressures and thermal cycling demand precision.

Constructed from multi-layer steel (MLS), this gasket offers superior durability compared to conventional composite designs. Its layered steel construction accommodates head lift and block deck variation without permanent set, ensuring a reliable seal. The .024-inch compressed thickness is specifically calibrated for the L15 engine family without VTEC, maintaining proper combustion chamber volume and valve timing geometry when installed to factory torque specifications.

Technicians working on non-VTEC L15 Honda engines, commonly found in early Civic and Fit models, will find this gasket essential for head jobs, engine swaps, or boost builds where OEM gaskets have proven insufficient. Its ability to withstand thermal shock and maintain clamping load across repeated heat cycles makes it ideal for both street and track applications, where head gasket failure can lead to significant engine damage.
