About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of your 2RZ or 3RZ engine.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a tight seal against aluminum heads and blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches, with a 97mm bore to match your engine's specifications. This design means you don't need any extra sealants for installation.

This gasket is designed to fit directly onto your Toyota 4Runner (1996-2000), T100 (1995-1998), or Tacoma (1995-2004) with the 2RZ-FE or 3RZ-FE engine. It's a well-built option for engine rebuilds where reliable sealing is a top priority.
