Installation of the Cometic head gasket requires standard engine disassembly procedures, including removal of the cylinder head. It is designed as a direct replacement for the factory gasket on Scion xD models from 2008 to 2014 and the 2016 Scion iM. No modifications to the engine block or head are necessary, ensuring a straightforward installation process.

For best results, it is recommended to follow Toyota’s torque specifications and tightening sequence during installation. Proper surface preparation and cleaning are essential to achieve a reliable seal and long-lasting performance.
