Cometic VW / Audi 1800/2000cc 83mm .070 inch MLS Head Gasket

You're getting a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically designed for VW and Audi 1800cc and 2000cc engines with an 83mm bore. This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.070 inches. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and resistance to corrosion, and the outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that handles tough sealing jobs without needing extra sealants.

This type of gasket is a solid choice for engines with high output, whether you're pairing aluminum heads with an aluminum block or aluminum heads with a cast iron block, because the multi-layer steel construction can handle the different expansion rates between those materials. The Viton coating is designed to work in harsh environments and on various surface finishes, ensuring a good seal. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine requirements.

This gasket fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Audi 80. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a reliable seal for your engine's top end.
