Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSi EA888 83mm Bore .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket

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 and coolant. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of these modern, high-output engines.

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 tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes, ensuring a solid seal without needing additional sealants. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of .056 inches and an 83mm bore, making it suitable for a range of Audi and Volkswagen models.

This gasket is designed to work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, helping to manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals. It's a well-built component that helps ensure your engine rebuild is sealed up tight.
