What is the main advantage of a Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket?

MLS head gaskets offer increased strength and better resistance to corrosion compared to traditional gaskets. They are designed to handle the high output of modern engines and provide a reliable seal without needing additional sealants.

What does the Viton coating on the outer layers do?

The Viton coating is a heat-resistant rubber material that can withstand high temperatures, up to 482°F (250°C). It helps ensure a strong seal in demanding conditions and is compatible with various sealing environments and surface finishes.

Does this gasket require any additional sealant during installation?

No, Cometic MLS head gaskets are designed to provide maximum sealing performance on their own and do not require any additional sealants. This simplifies the installation process.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the demands of your 2003-2018 Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, or Tundra equipped with the 1GR-FE engine. The multi-layer stainless steel construction offers increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C).

This design makes the gasket ideal for sealing between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can occur. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control. Because it's an MLS gasket, it requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation and ensuring a reliable seal for high-output engines.
