Head Gaskets

[Fez]

Hi guys,

Advice on compatible head gasket numbers that can be used on the 4EFTE please? Blown gasket and part no 11115-11071 isn't availabe here :/

I would stick with the Toyota gasket if possible, Victor reins is another manufacturer that I'd trust also.
Where abouts are you ? Maybe someone can help out get one to you ?

a 4efe gasket should do you if a local place can get one of those

Thank you dac69er. Are the coolant line openings the same on them though?

 

[dac69er]

they are the same as OEM. only the "performance" gaskets have more of the waterways opened up.

Hey i am in South Africa and we do not get any 4E spares here, so we have to source, mix and match.

What i have found out is that the 2e(1.3 carb) has alot of spares in common.

the head gasket is a direct fit and works perfect. Maybe give that a try.

I always though the 2E gasket was 'almost but not quite' identical. It is apparently a straight fit replacement option.

They seem to use them a lot in the Philippines as supply is an issue there too.

What side are you from? Plenty of spares available for the 4E. I use Victor Reinz 4E gasket. Better than OEM in my opinion

I noticed all of the Japanese MLS head gaskets like zep cruise kamieri have the same waterways open as the oem gasket. Brands like athena seem to have all of them open

I always figured the reduced flow was related to heat transfer. Although it could just be laziness.

Needless to say I'm no expert on thermal dynamics.

I did try to get some spares like the oil rings for example, with no luck, however i managed to match yaris 10thou rings and they worked out perfectly for bearings i just used the 2e as they are the same..
