The Cometic MLS head gasket for Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L EA827 engines is a multi-layer steel gasket specified at .056in thickness for an 85mm bore. Constructed from three to five embossed stainless steel layers with AMP coatings, the outer layers are coated with Viton rubber for enhanced sealing and heat resistance up to 250°C (482°F). The design improves load distribution, requires less clamp load and resists corrosion in demanding sealing environments.
