The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Volkswagen Golf 1.8 is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments and under various load conditions, making it suitable for high-performance and demanding applications. The gasket's multilayer design provides durability and a consistent seal, contributing to optimal engine performance and longevity.

This MLS head gasket is specifically engineered for Volkswagen Golf models with a 1.8-liter engine, featuring an 85mm bore. It is a direct replacement part that ensures proper fitment and sealing integrity. Suitable for street, track, or performance use, this gasket is ideal for engine rebuilds, upgrades, or repairs requiring a high-quality seal. The kit includes the gasket with the specified dimensions and coatings, designed to meet or exceed OEM standards. Proper installation ensures reliable performance and engine efficiency in various driving conditions.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
