About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-2003 Toyota Tacoma with the 5VZ-FE engine, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid option. It's designed to handle the demands of higher output engines and is built to provide a reliable seal without needing extra sealants.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is important because it helps the gasket seal effectively against different materials like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, and it can handle the stresses that come from those combinations. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.051 inches and a bore size of 98mm.

This gasket is specifically for the left-hand side (LHS) of the engine. It's a well-built component that's ready for your rebuild.
