Cometic 08-11 VW/Audi 2.0L 84mm Bore .056 Thickness MLS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2008-2011 Volkswagen or Audi 2.0L TFSI EA888 engine, a solid head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these engines, offering a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well with different surface finishes on aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different compressed thicknesses, like the 0.056 inches on this specific gasket, which results in a 0.036 inch operating thickness. This construction means the gasket doesn't require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward.

This gasket is designed for engines without Valvelift systems (AVS). It's a well-built component that fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, A4, and Volkswagen GTI, ensuring a proper seal for your engine rebuild.
