Cometic VW / Audi 1800/2000cc 83mm .120 inch MLS Head Gasket

This is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket designed for 1800cc and 2000cc VW and Audi engines with an 83mm bore. It has a compressed thickness of .120 inches. This gasket is built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a strong seal without needing additional sealants. It's well-suited for applications joining aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between dissimilar metals.

The construction uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and various surface finishes. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different engine requirements. This well-built gasket is a solid option for rebuilding or repairing these popular VW and Audi engines.
