About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Toyota 1FZ-FE engine, or tackling a head gasket replacement on a compatible Ford or Lexus model, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure and coolant. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and various block/head material combinations.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating ensures a tight seal against the cylinder head and block, even with different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, and it doesn't require any additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the .070 inch (0.070 inches) this gasket offers, with a compressed operating thickness of .036 inches. This specific gasket is designed for a 101.5mm bore.

This gasket is a well-built option for a range of vehicles, including models like the Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX450, and various Ford trucks and wagons from the 1970s and 1980s. Ensure you verify fitment for your specific year and model.
