Cometic Toyota 1.6L 2T/2TC/3TC/3T-EU 89mm .040 inch MLS Head Gasket

The outer layers of this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material rated up to 482°F. This gasket is specifically made for Toyota 1.6L 2T, 2TC, 3TC, and 3T-EU engines, featuring an 89mm bore and a compressed thickness of .040 inches. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance for engines that produce higher output than stock, and it doesn't require any additional sealants.

MLS gaskets are well-suited for applications where you have aluminum heads bolted to either aluminum blocks or cast iron blocks. The multiple layers of stainless steel give this gasket increased strength and the ability to rebound, which helps it resist corrosion and withstand the forces created when dissimilar metals are joined. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and Cometic uses this layer to achieve different thickness requirements, like the .040 inches found on this particular gasket.
