The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Volkswagen Golf 1.8L AAM/ABS/ADZ is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, resilience, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material, which provides excellent heat resistance up to 2500°C (4820°F). This multilayer steel (MLS) design ensures a reliable seal under high pressure and temperature environments, making it suitable for performance applications. Its durable construction helps prevent leaks, maintain compression, and improve overall engine reliability, especially in tuned or modified engines.

This gasket is specifically designed for Volkswagen Golf models equipped with 1.8L engines, including AAM, ABS, and ADZ variants, with an 83mm bore. It is intended as a direct replacement for OEM head gaskets, offering a precise fit and sealing performance. Suitable for street and performance use, it ensures optimal engine integrity during high-stress conditions. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Compatibility is limited to the specified engine types and bore size, making it ideal for rebuilds, upgrades, or repairs requiring a high-quality MLS gasket.

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.
