The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla with the 1ZZ-FE engine is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, making it suitable for both stock and modified applications. The gasket's precise bore size of 80mm and a thickness of .027 inches contribute to optimal compression and sealing integrity, supporting engine performance and longevity.

Designed as a direct replacement for OEM gaskets, this MLS head gasket fits 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla models equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine. It is ideal for street use, performance upgrades, or rebuild projects requiring a durable, high-quality seal. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, ensuring a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts and mechanics. The kit includes the gasket itself, with no additional components specified. This gasket is suitable for use in various driving conditions, including daily driving and moderate performance tuning, providing a reliable seal to maintain engine efficiency and prevent leaks.

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.
