Cometic Volkswagen 2.0L 16v TFSI EA888 .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 84mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring a Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. This construction is designed to handle the demands of high-output engines and provides maximum sealing performance without needing additional sealants. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for mating aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as they can effectively manage the shearing forces that arise from these material combinations.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel design, which also allows them to rebound and resist 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) in various demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different sealing requirements; this particular gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches and an 84mm bore, making it suitable for a range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles like the GTI, Jetta, and A4.
