Cometic Toyota 3S-GE/3S-GTE 87mm 87-97 .052 inch MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for specific Toyota 3S-GE and 3S-GTE engines, and also fits certain Mitsubishi Lancer models. It measures 87mm across the bore and has a compressed thickness of .052 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for use with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

The construction features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a strong seal in harsh conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thickness requirements, like the .052 inch thickness of this particular gasket. Because it's an MLS design, it doesn't require any additional sealants.
