About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, T100, Tundra, or 4Runner, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is specifically for the left side, featuring a 98mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.040 inches. It's built to handle the demands of the 5VZ-FE engine.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle harsh sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a reliable seal between your aluminum or cast iron block and aluminum heads. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
