Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 84mm Bore

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed for Volkswagen 1.8L and 2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 engines. It features an 84mm bore and a compressed thickness of .036 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of high-output engines and is suitable for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise between different metals.

The gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh conditions and across various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel, and the overall thickness is achieved by varying this layer, making it adaptable to different build requirements. These MLS gaskets do not require additional sealants for installation.

This gasket fits a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, A4, and Q5. Always refer to the manufacturer's fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
