Cometic Toyota 4E-FE/4E-FTE/5E-FE/5E-FHE .051in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 74.5mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1987-1990 Toyota Tercel, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a solid choice. It's specifically made for the 4E-FE, 4E-FTE, 5E-FE, and 5E-FHE engines, featuring a 74.5mm bore and a .051 inch thickness, which is a common size for these applications.

Cometic uses a Multi-Layer Steel construction for these gaskets, which offers improved sealing compared to older composite designs. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, helping to ensure a long-lasting seal even under demanding engine conditions. This type of construction is well-suited for keeping combustion pressures contained and preventing coolant and oil leaks between the block and the cylinder head.

When installing this gasket, make sure your cylinder head and engine block surfaces are perfectly clean and flat. It's always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's specific installation instructions for torque sequences and any other critical details to ensure a proper seal.
