Cometic Gasket is well-known for making solid sealing solutions, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It’s built for a range of popular European vehicles, including the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Jetta, Passat, and Audi A3, A4, and TT models equipped with the 2.0L TFSI EA113 engine. This gasket is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks between your engine block and cylinder head.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This advanced coating ensures a reliable seal even in demanding conditions and works well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, with this specific gasket set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.051 inches and an 83.5mm bore.

Because it's a multi-layer steel design with the Viton coating, this gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. It’s designed to handle the shearing forces that can occur when mating different block materials, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks.
