The Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket provides superior sealing performance for high-output Volkswagen EA888 2.0L 16V TSI/TFSI engines. Engineered to handle the extreme cylinder pressures of modern performance builds, these gaskets are comprised of multiple layers of embossed stainless steel to provide maximum rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber based material heat-resistant to 250°C (482°F), ensuring a reliable seal across various surface finishes and load conditions.

This MLS design is specifically effective for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it withstands the shearing forces created by different thermal expansion rates. The Cometic C4977-051 requires no additional sealants and utilizes a reduced clamp load requirement to minimize bore distortion and ensure even load distribution across the sealing surface.
