What does the .056in thickness and 98mm bore mean for my engine?

The .056 inch thickness is a standard measurement for this gasket, designed to work with the original engine components. The 98mm bore matches the cylinder diameter of the 5VZ-FE engine, ensuring it properly covers the combustion chamber for a good seal.

What is HP shim technology and why is it important?

HP shim technology increases the clamping force of the gasket around the combustion chamber. This is particularly beneficial for open deck engine blocks, like the one in your Tacoma, as it helps create a stronger, more reliable seal to prevent leaks.

Does this gasket come with any hardware or sealant?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. It does not include head bolts, sealant, or other installation hardware. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific requirements.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-2003 Toyota Tacoma, getting the right cylinder head gasket is crucial for a solid seal. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is specifically made for the 5VZ-FE engine, featuring a .056 inch thickness and a 98mm bore, which is the standard size for this engine. It's designed to handle the demands of keeping your combustion chambers sealed tight.

Cometic uses HP shim technology in this gasket, which helps increase the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This is especially important for open deck blocks like the one in your Tacoma, as it ensures a better seal and helps prevent leaks. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further enhancing the gasket's ability to maintain a seal under tough conditions.
