What is the difference between the right and left side head gaskets?

The right and left side head gaskets are specific to each bank of cylinders on your engine. This part is designated for the right side bank only. You will need to order a separate gasket for the left side bank if both are being replaced.

Do I need to use any sealant with this Cometic head gasket?

No, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is designed to provide maximum sealing performance without the need for additional sealants. The embossed and coated layers create a reliable seal on their own.

What is Viton and why is it used on this gasket?

Viton is a type of heat-resistant rubber material, rated up to 482°F (250°C). It's used on the outer layers of this gasket to ensure a durable and effective seal in the harsh environment of the engine cylinder head area, handling high temperatures and various sealing conditions.

About this part

Product Details

This right side Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.075 inches, designed specifically for the 98mm bore of the Toyota 5VZ-FE engine. It's constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing it to rebound and handle the stresses between different metal types, like aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of handling temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a reliable seal in demanding conditions.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.075 inches found in this particular gasket. This design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from stock engines to those with higher output, providing a strong seal that can withstand significant shearing forces.
