About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1988-1993 Toyota Celica or 1991-1994 Toyota MR2 with a 3S-GE or 3S-GTE engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid option. It's designed to handle the demands of higher-output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket is built with 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) and works well with both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks. The compressed operating thickness is 0.036 inches, and the bore size is 87mm, making it suitable for specific engine builds. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants for installation.
