Cometic Volkswagen 2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .030in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 82.5mm Bore

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. If you're rebuilding the top end of your Volkswagen 2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 engine, this gasket is designed to provide a strong seal. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, making it a solid choice for many Audi and Volkswagen models from 2008 through 2011, including popular vehicles like the GTI, Jetta, and A3.

This gasket is constructed from multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to rebound. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C) and works well in harsh sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness is varied to meet specific requirements – in this case, it's set to provide a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and is 0.030 inches undersize for the 82.5mm bore. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process whether you're mating aluminum heads to aluminum blocks or aluminum to cast iron.
