What makes an MLS head gasket different from a standard one?

Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gaskets use multiple layers of stainless steel for greater strength and resilience compared to single-layer composite gaskets. They are designed to handle higher pressures and temperatures without deforming, and often don't require sealants.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Cometic MLS head gasket is designed to be installed without any additional sealants. The Viton coating on the outer layers provides the necessary sealing capabilities.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures and harsh chemicals. It's used here to create a durable seal that can withstand the heat generated by your engine, ensuring long-lasting performance.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're working on a 1971-1982 Toyota Corolla with a 1.6L 2T, 2TC, 3TC, or 3T-EU engine, this gasket is built to handle the job. It's designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil from mixing.

This gasket 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 (250°C). This combination makes it suitable for engines with aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the different expansion rates of those materials. The compressed thickness is 0.120 inches, and the bore size is 89mm, specifically matching the requirements for these Toyota engines. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.
