Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 84mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Volkswagen 1.8L or 2.0L TFSI EA888 engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these modern, high-output engines. It's designed to provide a strong seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, preventing coolant and oil leaks and ensuring proper compression.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle high temperatures and harsh sealing environments, meaning you won't need any additional sealants. The center shim layer can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 84mm bore, making it suitable for a range of EA888 applications, including many Audi and Volkswagen models.

This gasket is a solid option for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. It's a well-built component designed for a direct fit on the specified engines.
