SpeedFactory High Performance MLSS-HP Head Gaskets for Honda/Acura D-Series VTEC Engines
SpeedFactory Racing is proud to release our own high-performance Honda D-Series VTEC MLS head gasket with integrated fire-ring!
These MLS gaskets have been purpose-built to provide an excellent seal on ALL SOHC D-Series VTEC applications, from factory setups to high compression / nitrous / turbocharged / supercharged engines.
Most turbo D-Series SOHC VTEC enthusiasts utilize a stock engine block & cylinder head with upgraded internal components, generating 2-4x the stock power levels.
Upgraded head studs are a must, but many still struggle with head gasket sealing issues at 250+whp. For these problematic D16 applications, we've added a folded gas stopper ring design around the combustion chambers for a reliable combustion seal.
Our 0.036” gasket thickness makes up for cylinder head and block surfacing vs the OEM 3-layer 0.028” thickness and allows us to utilize a 4-layer design with specialized embossments that increase active combustion sealing height, ideal for high output engines that experience high levels of head lift/movement. We’ve also incorporated a unique internal silicone bead on the oiling passages for improved sealing.
FITMENT:
- Honda/Acura D-Series SOHC VTEC engines
- Available Size: 76.00mm (Use for 75.00mm-76.00mm maximum bore)
- 0.036”/0.914mm thickness
FEATURES:
- MLSS-HP (Multiple Layer Stainless Steel + Silicone Bead) Head Gasket optimized for high performance use
- 4-layer MLS design with specialized embossment increases active combustion sealing height, ideal for forced induction engines that experience high levels of head lift/movement.
- Integrated fire-ring for a reliable combustion seal on forced induction D-series engines.
- Unique internal silicone elastomeric sealing bead around oiling passages for improved fluid sealing.
- High performance elastomeric coating to ensure the best possible seal by compensating for surface irregularities.
- OE quality, OE certified manufacturer (ISO 9001, ISO/TS16949, ISO 14001 certified).
NOTE: If running beyond the 600+whp range a sleeved block with o-rings and a standard Cometic MLS gasket is recommended. If using o-rings with our gasket the o-ring must be placed outside the fire-ring.
