Cometic Toyota 5VZ-FE .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 98mm Bore - RHS

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a 98mm bore and is .060 inches thick, designed specifically for the Toyota 5VZ-FE engine and similar applications. The HP shim technology integrated into its design is key here; it increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber, which is especially important for open deck blocks to ensure a solid seal. This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the 1995-1999 Toyota Tacoma, 2000 Toyota Tundra, and 2004-2006 Subaru Baja.

The outer layers of this gasket are embossed and coated with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its resistance to heat and chemicals. This coating helps to improve sealability and durability under demanding engine conditions. When you're rebuilding the top end or replacing a blown head gasket, a well-made MLS gasket like this one is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.
