Cometic VW/Audi 1.8L and 2.0L Turbo .036in MLX Head Gasket 83mm Bore

This is the Cometic C14009-036 Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, designed specifically for the 1.8L and 2.0L Turbo TFSI EA888 engines found in select Volkswagen models. You get one head gasket in this package, ready to seal your cylinder head to the engine block. It features an 83mm bore and a .036 inch thickness, which is a common size for stock or lightly modified engines. The embossed outer layers are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, helping to ensure a solid seal under demanding conditions.

Cometic is known for using a variety of materials to create gaskets that perform well in different engine environments. This particular MLS gasket is built with multiple layers of steel, providing strength and resilience. The .036 inch thickness is a standard dimension that works well for many rebuilds and repairs, helping to maintain proper compression ratios. The Viton coating on the embossed layers adds an extra layer of protection against leaks and wear, especially in areas exposed to high temperatures and engine fluids.
