Cometic VW / Audi 1800/2000cc 85mm .045 inch MLS Head Gasket

What you get here is a Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket, specifically designed for VW and Audi 1800/2000cc EA827 engines. This gasket has an 85mm bore and a compressed thickness of 0.045 inches, which is crucial for proper sealing between your cylinder head and engine block. It's built to handle the demands of higher output engines, offering a solid seal without needing any extra sealants.

This gasket is well-built with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit and works well in tough sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements. This construction makes it suitable for use with both aluminum heads and aluminum blocks, as well as aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

This gasket fits a range of classic VW and Audi models, including vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Audi 4000. It's a well-made component that helps ensure a reliable seal for your engine's top end.
