Cometic 98-06 VW/Audi 1.8L Turbo 85mm .060 inch MLS Head Gasket

If you're working on the 1.8L turbo engine in your 1998-2006 Volkswagen or Audi, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a solid choice for sealing the cylinder head to the block. It's specifically designed for an 85mm bore and has a compressed thickness of .060 inches, making it suitable for builds where a bit more thickness is needed to achieve proper compression or to account for block decking.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist 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. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, and it's designed to handle the demands of higher output engines, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or cast iron block.
