The Cometic Gasket Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16V TFSI EA888 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket is engineered for high-performance engine sealing. This gasket features multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with outer layers coated in Viton rubber to withstand harsh operating environments. The compressed thickness of 0.036 inches ensures a precise fit that maintains optimal sealing performance across a range of conditions. Designed to meet the demands of modern high-output engines, this gasket eliminates the need for sealants and provides a reliable seal between the engine head and block. It is suitable for both aluminum and cast iron engine components, effectively handling the shearing forces that can occur between different materials. The stainless steel layers offer increased strength, rebound, and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482°F, making it ideal for demanding sealing applications. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements, providing flexibility for different engine builds. This gasket’s design promotes even load distribution and requires less clamp load, reducing bore distortion and enhancing sealing integrity. Compatible with a variety of Volkswagen models, including the 2012-2015 Audi Q5, A3, A4, A5, TT Quattro, and others, this MLS gasket ensures a proper seal for high-performance applications. Engineered for precision and durability, the Cometic Gasket Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L 16V TFSI EA888 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket delivers reliable performance for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
