Product Description

The Cometic C4314-040 MLS head gasket is built for performance applications of Toyota's 3S-GTE engine, commonly found in Celica All-Trac (1989-1993) and MR2 Turbo (1991-1994) models. The three-layer stainless steel construction offers excellent resilience and sealing, while the Viton coating on the outer layers ensures high-temperature and chemical resistance.

With a compressed thickness of .040", this gasket offers precise sealing even under high boost or stress, while its ability to rebound helps maintain compression integrity over time. The shim layer is uncoated, which allows for customization of thickness if needed. Because this gasket installs dry without sealers, it's an ideal choice for both rebuilds and performance tuning.
