Supertech VW 16V KR-PL 83.8mm Bore 0.055in (1.4mm) Thick MLS Head Gasket

This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Supertech features a 1.4mm thickness and an 83.8mm bore, specifically made for VW 16V KR-PL engines. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle higher compression ratios and provide a strong seal, making them a popular choice when rebuilding or modifying these engines.

The layered construction of this gasket allows it to conform to the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and block, even with minor imperfections. This design helps prevent leaks and ensures consistent clamping force across the entire sealing area, which is crucial for maintaining proper engine compression and preventing coolant or oil from entering the combustion chambers. It's a well-built component designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures typical of performance-oriented 16-valve VW engines.
