The Skunk2 MLS Head Gasket for Honda/Acura K20A, K24A, and K24Z VTEC engines is engineered to deliver unmatched durability, sealing strength, and performance for both high-compression and forced induction builds. Designed for extreme cylinder pressures and high-RPM conditions, this gasket ensures superior combustion sealing and long-term reliability under demanding conditions.

Manufactured using Multiple Layer Steel (MLS) construction, the gasket features laser-welded layers and a specialized HR-180 fluoroelastomer rubber coating that improves sealing around combustion chambers, oil, and coolant passages. The stopper-layer design enhances clamp load distribution, making it ideal for engines that have been bored or run higher boost levels.

Perfect for performance street builds, turbocharged setups, or naturally aspirated race applications, the Skunk2 head gasket is a proven choice for high-performance K-Series engines.
