About this part

Product Details

If you're working on the engine of your 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, specifically with the 2RZ-FE or 3RZ-FE engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice for sealing the combustion chamber. It's designed to handle the pressures and temperatures found in these engines, ensuring a good seal between the cylinder head and the engine block without needing extra sealants.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different block and head materials, whether you have aluminum heads on an aluminum block or aluminum heads on a cast iron block. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .080 inches and a 97mm bore, which is important for proper fitment on your specific engine.
