Cometic 98-06 VW/Audi 1.8L 20V 82mm .066in MLS Head Gasket

If you're working on the 1.8L 20V engine in your 1998-2009 Volkswagen or Audi, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is a solid choice for sealing the cylinder head to the block. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. This design is well-suited for engines with higher output, and it doesn't require any additional sealants to do its job effectively.

The outer layers of this gasket are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This coating is designed to seal well in tough conditions and on various surface finishes, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of .066 inches and an 82mm bore, fitting your specific engine application.
