Cometic 11 Ford Modular 5.0L 94mm Bore .056 Inch MLS Left Side Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with embossed outer layers coated in Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F. It's designed for the left side of your engine and has a compressed operating thickness of 0.056 inches with a 94mm bore, making it a solid option for your 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet. MLS gaskets are well-suited for joining different metal types, like aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, because they can manage the shearing forces that arise. The multiple stainless steel layers give these gaskets increased strength and resistance to corrosion, while also allowing them to rebound effectively.

Cometic's MLS design means you don't need to use any additional sealants for installation, simplifying the process. This construction is ideal for high-output engines, providing a strong seal that holds up under demanding conditions. The center layer is made of stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses, like the 0.056 inches found in this specific gasket.
