About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1971-1982 Toyota Corolla, getting the right head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your 1.6L 2T, 2TC, 3TC, or 3T-EU engine.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F, ensuring a reliable seal even in tough conditions. This design works well whether you have aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block, as it can manage the different expansion rates between those materials. The compressed thickness of this gasket is .040 inches, and it's designed to seal effectively without needing any additional sealants.
