Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing components, and this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is a prime example. It's designed for VW and Audi 1800cc and 2000cc engines, specifically for builds where you need a reliable seal. This gasket has a compressed operating thickness of 0.060 inches and is made for an 85mm bore, making it a solid choice for engine rebuilds or performance upgrades on a range of vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Audi 4000.

What makes this gasket stand out is its construction. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it increased strength and the ability to resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring a good seal even in demanding conditions. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel and can be varied to meet different thickness requirements, which is how Cometic achieves the 0.060-inch compressed thickness for this specific part. Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process.
