The Cometic MLS Head Gasket is a high-performance multi-layer steel gasket designed for 1984-1989 Toyota Corolla and MR2 models equipped with 1.6L 4A-GE, GELC, or GZE engines. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, resilience, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material that withstands temperatures up to 2500°C (4820°F), ensuring reliable sealing under demanding conditions. Its design aims to provide superior durability, consistent compression, and effective sealing in high-performance or modified engine applications, making it a robust choice for engine rebuilds and upgrades.

This gasket is specifically engineered for fitment on 1984-1989 Toyota Corolla and MR2 vehicles with the specified engines. It serves as a direct replacement for stock head gaskets, suitable for street and performance use where durability and sealing integrity are critical. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, ensuring a proper seal for optimal engine performance. The kit includes the MLS head gasket with the specified bore size of 83mm, compatible with stock or slightly modified engine setups, and is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-quality sealing solution for their Toyota 4A-GE engine rebuilds or upgrades.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
