Cometic Toyota 5VZ-FE .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 98mm Bore (RHS)

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket for Toyota 5VZ-FE engines. It measures .045 inches thick with a 98mm bore and is specifically for the Right Hand (RHS) side. This gasket is designed to work with open deck engine blocks, which have coolant passages between the cylinders, and uses HP shim technology to increase sealing pressure right around the combustion chamber. This helps ensure a solid seal even in those critical areas.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil. This construction helps create a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, which is crucial for preventing coolant and oil leaks and maintaining proper engine compression. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, and Tundra, as well as various Subaru models such as the Forester and Impreza.
