Cometic 2011 Ford 5.0L V8 94mm Bore .045 inch MLS LHS Head Gasket

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1985-1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet, a good head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and coolant passages. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built to handle the pressures of modern engines.

Cometic uses multiple layers of stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, with an embossed Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. Viton is a heat-resistant material that can handle tough sealing jobs, making these gaskets suitable for aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches, designed for specific engine builds. Because they're MLS, these gaskets don't require any additional sealants, simplifying installation.
