Cometic Toyota 1UZ-FE(non VVT-i) 89mm Bore .051in RHS MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Lexus LS400 with the 1UZ-FE engine, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to seal the combustion chamber, coolant passages, and oil galleries between the cylinder head and the engine block. It's specifically designed for the non-VVT-i version of the 1UZ-FE engine and features an 89mm bore with a .051 inch thickness.

MLS head gaskets are well-built for demanding applications because they use multiple layers of stainless steel with a special coating. This construction allows them to handle higher compression and temperature changes better than traditional composite gaskets. The .051 inch thickness is a common spec for this engine, helping to maintain proper compression ratios when you're putting the engine back together. This gasket is a direct fit for the specified Lexus LS400 models.
