The Cometic MLS cylinder head gasket for Volkswagen 1.8/2.0L EA827 engines (83mm bore) is a multi-layer steel gasket with a compressed operating thickness of 0.027". It uses embossed outer stainless steel layers coated with Viton for improved sealing in harsh environments. A center shim of uncoated stainless steel allows thickness variation; MLS construction rebounds under load, resists corrosion, and provides reliable sealing for aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-iron head applications without sealants.
