They're pressed gaskets. Paper cored. No MLS gaskets for a 3vz-fe is avalible, tho you can use custom copper, or custom MLS.
If not, find some ghraphite gaskets. In the USA we have Victor's.

Behind those... Would be OEM Toyota gaskets.


I've had good success with the victors.

anyone try to fit 1mzfe gasket, are they possible to use with work or without extra work ? atleast some of them or all use MLS type gaskets.. again, another project..

Looks like the oil drain and coolant galleries are different but only slightly. The bore is 78mm on the 3vzfe and the 1mzfe is 87.5mm, I very much doubt it will work.

Thanks, i though it maybe like that, dEsign is so near. Maybe had to comPare with block and head.
