Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .098in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83mm Bore

If you're working on a Volkswagen 1.8L or 2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 engine, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket is a solid option for sealing your engine. It's designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and fits a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen models from the early 2010s through 2019.

This gasket is built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes, meaning you won't need to add any extra sealants during installation. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 83mm bore, with a total thickness of 0.098 inches.

This gasket is a good choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block setups, as MLS construction can manage the shearing forces that occur between different metals. It's a well-built component designed to provide reliable sealing for your engine rebuild.
