About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-2003 Toyota Tacoma with the 5VZ-FE engine, this Cometic cylinder head gasket is a solid choice. It's designed with a .045 inch thickness and a 98mm bore, specifically for the left-hand (LHS) side of the engine. This gasket is built using Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction, which offers a strong seal for demanding engine conditions.

Cometic's HP shim technology is a notable feature here. It increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially helpful for open deck blocks like the one found in your 5VZ-FE. This improved sealability helps prevent leaks and ensures reliable performance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further enhancing its durability and sealing capabilities.
