Cometic Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16v TFSi EA888 83mm Bore .060in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket w/ Valvelift

Cometic Gasket is a well-known name for building solid engine components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for a range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles with the 1.8L and 2.0L 16v TFSi EA888 engines, featuring an 83mm bore and a compressed thickness of .060 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, ensuring a strong seal between your cylinder head and engine block.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It's made from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This coating is tough and works well in harsh sealing environments, even with different surface finishes on the aluminum heads and blocks, or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and the overall thickness is set at .060 inches to accommodate specific engine builds.
