The Cometic C4978-027 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for Volkswagen 1.8L and 2.0L 16-valve TFSI EA888 engines. This gasket features an 83mm bore diameter and a compressed thickness of .027 inches, providing an excellent balance of sealing performance and compression optimization.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior strength and durability
• 83mm bore diameter designed for EA888 engine specifications
• .027" compressed gasket thickness for precise compression control
• Includes Active Variable Seal (AVS) technology for enhanced sealing at combustion chamber and coolant passages
• Engineered to withstand high cylinder pressures in turbocharged applications
• Ideal for performance builds, rebuilt engines, or OEM replacement

Cometic gaskets are manufactured in the USA using advanced materials and manufacturing processes. The MLS design incorporates multiple layers of stainless steel with elastomer coatings, allowing the gasket to adapt to flange movement and minor surface imperfections while maintaining a reliable seal. The AVS technology provides additional sealing force in critical areas, making this gasket particularly well-suited for the demands of modern turbocharged direct-injection engines.

This gasket is compatible with Volkswagen EA888 Gen 1, 2, and 3 engines found in various VW and Audi models equipped with 1.8L and 2.0L TFSI powerplants.
