Cometic C4979-030 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket VW TFSI Bore - 1.8L 2.0L EA888 84mm

The Cometic C4979-030 is a premium Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket engineered specifically for Volkswagen 1.8L and 2.0L 16-valve TFSI EA888 engines. This high-performance gasket features an 84mm bore diameter and a .030" (0.76mm) compressed thickness, making it ideal for both stock rebuilds and turbocharged performance applications.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel construction provides superior sealing and durability under high combustion pressures
• 84mm bore diameter precisely matches EA888 engine specifications
• .030" compressed thickness for optimal compression ratio control
• Integrated AVS (Armor Clad Stopper) technology prevents gasket damage from cylinder head movement
• Coated embossments ensure consistent torque retention and re-torque capability
• Engineered for Volkswagen/Audi 1.8T and 2.0T TFSI engines (EA888 generation)

Cometic's MLS gaskets feature multiple layers of stainless steel with advanced coating technology that allows the gasket to adapt to sealing surface imperfections while maintaining structural integrity. The AVS stopper layer provides an extra measure of protection around the combustion chamber, preventing gasket failure in high-boost applications. This gasket is an excellent choice for engine rebuilds, performance upgrades, or turbo builds requiring precise head sealing.
