The Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket is a high-performance component designed for the Volkswagen EA888 2.0L 16V TSI/TFSI engine. Constructed from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with outer layers coated in Viton rubber, it offers superior sealing capabilities for high-output engines. With a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches, this gasket provides excellent durability, rebound, and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks, effectively handling shearing forces created by different materials. The Viton coating on the outer layers ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, while the uncoated stainless steel shim layer allows for customizable thickness requirements.

Designed specifically for the 2012–2020 Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, and other models with the EA888 engine, this MLS gasket is a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets. It is ideal for high-performance applications, including street and track use, where maximum sealing and durability are essential. The gasket requires no additional sealants and is engineered to withstand extreme conditions, making it suitable for high-output and modified engines. The kit includes the head gasket itself, ensuring a straightforward installation process for qualified technicians or experienced enthusiasts.

Overview

Comprised of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel with the outer layers utilizing a Viton rubber coating. Compressed operating thickness is 0.036". World Products Man-o-War Block. Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gaskets provide maximum sealing performance for todays high output engines and require no sealants. MLS gaskets are ideal for both aluminum heads to aluminum blocks and aluminum heads to cast iron blocks. They can withstand the shearing force created by the two materials. MLS gaskets have increased strength because they are comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel; which also creates the ability to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton (a flour elastomer rubber based material that is heat resistant to 250 C/ 482 F). Viton is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions, and surface finishes. The center or shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements.
