Construction & Design:
The Cometic MLS gasket is crafted from multiple layers of high-grade stainless steel, providing exceptional durability and the ability to rebound under pressure. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating ensures a reliable seal even in extreme thermal and mechanical environments.
The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness variations to suit different engine rebuild specifications. This multi-layer construction not only enhances sealing integrity but also helps to evenly distribute clamping forces, minimizing bore distortion and improving engine reliability.
Installation & Fitment:
The Cometic MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is designed as a direct fit replacement for the 2.4L 2AZFE engine in the Scion tC (2005–2010) and Scion xB2 (2008–2015). Installation requires standard head gasket replacement procedures with no special modifications or sealants needed. The gasket’s design eliminates the need for re-torquing, simplifying the installation process and ensuring a consistent, long-lasting seal.
