Cometic Volkswagen 1.8L 20v T EA827 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 82mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. With a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 82mm bore, it's designed for the 1.8L 20v T EA827 engine found in a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A4, Volkswagen Beetle, and Golf.

MLS gaskets are ideal for sealing aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar materials. The multiple stainless steel layers provide increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and meeting the demands of harsh sealing environments. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for varied thickness requirements.
