Cometic Volkswagen 2.0L 16v TFSI EA113 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 83.5mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the high output of modern engines and provides maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. It's well-suited for applications with aluminum heads on either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar metals.

The stainless steel layers offer increased strength and the ability to rebound, while also resisting corrosion. The Viton coating on the outer layers is a heat-resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F (250°C), making it suitable for demanding sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for adjustments to achieve different thickness requirements. This particular gasket has a bore size of 83.5mm and a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches, with an initial thickness of 0.027 inches. It fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, A4, TT, and Volkswagen Eos, GTI, Jetta, and Passat.
