Supertech VW VR6 2.8-2.9L 12V 82.5mm Bore 0.0255in (0.65mm) Thick MLS Head Gasket

This Supertech Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a 0.0255 inch (0.65mm) thickness, specifically designed for VW VR6 2.8-2.9L 12-valve engines with an 82.5mm bore. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle higher cylinder pressures and temperatures compared to traditional composite gaskets, making them a solid choice for rebuilding or maintaining these performance-oriented engines.

The multi-layer construction uses multiple stainless steel sheets with embossed sealing beads. This design allows the gasket to conform to the sealing surfaces while maintaining its integrity under stress. The precise thickness of this gasket is important for maintaining the correct compression ratio after engine work, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for your VR6.

When rebuilding the top end of your VW VR6, a well-made head gasket like this Supertech unit is crucial for a proper seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. Ensure your sealing surfaces are clean and flat before installation, and always follow the manufacturer's recommended torque sequence and specifications for best results.
