Parts for your 2022 Toyota Land cruiser-Head gasket

2022 Toyota Land Cruiser head-gasket: what it is, why it matters, and when to act

Yes, the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser (J300 series) uses a head-gasket. Both engines offered for this model—the 3.5‑litre twin‑turbo petrol V6 (V35A‑FTS) and the 3.3‑litre twin‑turbo diesel V6 (F33A‑FTV)—are conventional alloy‑head, multi‑cylinder engines that require a multi‑layer steel (MLS) head-gasket between the cylinder block and head. This is confirmed in Toyota’s J300 Repair Manual coverage for V35A‑FTS and F33A‑FTV engines, the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) listings for the J300 head-gasket, and typical MLS specifications in Toyota service documentation for late‑model alloy DOHC engines.

On the 2022 Land Cruiser, the head-gasket’s job is to keep combustion pressures sealed while also separating coolant and oil galleries that run between the block and head. A healthy gasket preserves power, keeps coolant and oil where they belong, and protects the turbo V6 from overheating or cross‑contamination.

It isn’t a routine service item
