Cometic Volkswagen 1.8L 20v T EA827 .070in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 82mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's built for engines like the Volkswagen 1.8L 20v T EA827, designed to handle the demands of higher output applications. This gasket is 0.070 inches thick with an 82mm bore, making it a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading these popular European engines.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion, which is important for longevity. 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 without needing any additional sealants. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control, and in this case, it's set at 0.070 inches compressed thickness to achieve 0.036 inches.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A4, Audi TT, and Volkswagen Golf. It's designed to seal effectively between aluminum heads and either aluminum or cast iron blocks, helping to prevent issues caused by the different expansion rates of these materials.
