Cometic Cylinder Head Gasket
2005–2010 Scion tC / 2008–2012 Scion xB (2AZ-FE / 2AZ-FXE, 89mm Bore)
C4507-066
Overview:
The Cometic Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered to deliver superior sealing performance for your Scion tC (2005–2010) and Scion xB (2008–2012) equipped with the 2AZ-FE or 2AZ-FXE engines. Constructed with advanced Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) technology, this gasket is designed to withstand the demands of high-output engines without the need for additional sealants. Whether you are a daily driver or a performance enthusiast, this gasket ensures reliable sealing between the cylinder head and engine block, enhancing engine durability and performance.
Ideal for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron applications, the Cometic MLS gasket offers excellent resistance to shearing forces and corrosion, providing long-lasting service in demanding conditions.
Key Features:
Designed with precision and durability in mind, the Cometic Cylinder Head Gasket offers the following key features:
- Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction with multiple embossed stainless steel layers for enhanced strength and sealing capability.
- Outer layers coated on both sides with Viton rubber, a heat-resistant fluor elastomer that withstands temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).
- Embossed outer layers improve gasket sealing by adapting to surface irregularities and maintaining consistent compression.
- Uncoated stainless steel center shim layer allows for precise thickness customization to meet specific engine requirements.
- Compressed operating thickness of 0.036" (.066" nominal thickness) optimized for the 89mm bore of the 2AZ-FE and 2AZ-FXE engines.
- Compatible with both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, resisting shearing forces caused by differing metal expansion rates.
- Corrosion-resistant materials ensure long-term durability and reliability under harsh operating conditions.
- Requires no additional sealants, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of leaks.
Construction & Design:
The gasket’s construction features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing the strength and flexibility needed to maintain a reliable seal under high pressure and temperature fluctuations. The outer layers are coated with Viton rubber, a premium fluor elastomer known for its exceptional heat resistance and chemical stability. This coating enhances the gasket’s ability to conform to the cylinder head and block surfaces, ensuring a tight seal and preventing leaks.
The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to accommodate specific engine tolerances. This multi-layer design enables the gasket to rebound and maintain sealing integrity even after repeated thermal cycles, making it ideal for high-performance and high-output engines.
