Cometic Toyota 4AG-GE 83mm Bore .080 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1985-1991 Toyota Corolla with the 4A-GE engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for keeping everything sealed up tight. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of performance engines.

This gasket uses 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). This coating helps create a reliable seal against both aluminum and cast iron engine blocks, even with the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific needs; in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of .080 inches for an 83mm bore, perfect for many 4A-GE builds.

Because it's an MLS gasket with Viton coating, it's designed to seal effectively without needing any additional sealants, simplifying installation. This makes it a well-built option for both stock and modified 4A-GE engines.
