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 on both sides with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This design ensures reliable sealing under high pressure and temperature environments, making it suitable for performance applications. The gasket's multilayer construction provides durability and consistent compression, contributing to optimal engine performance and longevity.

This MLS head gasket is compatible with Volkswagen Golf models equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, typically from the model years where high-performance sealing is required. It is intended as a direct replacement for OEM gaskets, offering a reliable upgrade for rebuilds or performance modifications. The gasket features an 85mm bore and a thickness of .120 inches, ensuring proper fitment and sealing integrity. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Ideal for street, track, or high-performance driving, this gasket ensures a secure seal in harsh engine environments.

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.
