Cometic Toyota 3S-GE/3S-GTE 87mm 87-97 .060 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring an outer coating of Viton rubber. This construction is designed to handle the high output of engines like the Toyota 3S-GE and 3S-GTE, offering a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, effectively managing the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The strength of these gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel design, which also helps them resist corrosion and maintain their shape. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, allowing for adjustments in thickness to meet specific engine requirements.

This gasket is a direct fit for the 1988-1993 Toyota Celica and the 1991-1994 Toyota MR2. Because it's an MLS design, it does not require any additional sealants for installation, simplifying the process.
