What does MLS construction mean for this head gasket?

MLS stands for Multi-Layer Steel. This construction uses multiple layers of steel to create a strong, durable gasket that can withstand higher pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets. It's a popular choice for performance and rebuilt engines.

What is Viton coating and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of high-performance synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and other fluids. The Viton coating on the outer layers of this gasket helps to create a more effective seal and resist degradation from engine oils and high temperatures.

Does this head gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware. It is recommended to use new head bolts when replacing a head gasket, as they are often torque-to-yield and designed for single use.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components for performance and everyday vehicles. If you're working on the engine of your 1988-1993 Toyota Celica, specifically a Gen 3 3S-GE or 3S-GTE engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

This gasket features an 87mm bore and a .051 inch thickness, which is a common specification for these engines. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a high-performance synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat and oil. This helps to create a strong seal that can handle the pressures and temperatures found in your engine, especially if you're rebuilding or refreshing the top end.

When installing this gasket, ensure your cylinder head and block surfaces are clean and flat according to manufacturer specifications. A proper seal is critical for engine performance and longevity.
