Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .045in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 84mm Bore

Cometic Gasket has a reputation for making solid sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built for a range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles with the 1.8L and 2.0L TFSI EA888 engines, like those found in the Audi A3, A4, and Q5. If you're rebuilding the top end of one of these engines, a good head gasket is crucial for maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant and oil leaks.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion and withstand the forces in high-output engines. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes, meaning you don't need additional sealants. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to meet specific requirements, like the .045 inch compressed thickness on this particular gasket for an 84mm bore.
