What does the Viton coating on the gasket do?

The Viton coating on the outer layers of the gasket helps to create a more effective seal against the cylinder head and engine block surfaces. This is important for preventing leaks, especially in high-temperature and high-pressure engine environments.

Is this gasket suitable for performance modifications?

This is a multi-layer steel gasket with a Viton coating, designed for reliable sealing in the specified Toyota engines. While it offers improved durability, always consult with a professional mechanic regarding specific performance applications and compatibility.

What is the significance of the .045 inch thickness and 97mm bore?

The .045 inch thickness is a specific measurement critical for proper valve-to-piston clearance and compression ratio in these engines. The 97mm bore is sized to match the cylinder diameter of the Toyota 2RZ-FE and 3RZ-FE engines, ensuring a correct fit around the cylinders.

About this part

Product Details

The multi-layer steel (MLS) construction of this Cometic head gasket, featuring a .045 inch thickness and a 97mm bore, is built for the specific needs of the Toyota 2RZ-FE and 3RZ-FE engines found in your 1995-2004 Tacoma, 1996-2000 4Runner, or 1994-1998 T100. This gasket is designed to provide a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block, which is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer. This coating helps to create a tighter seal against the engine block and cylinder head surfaces, even under high temperatures and pressures. The MLS design itself offers improved strength and resilience compared to older gasket types, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or replacing your engine's head gasket.
