Cometic C4976-045 MLS Cylinder Head Gasket VW TFSI - 2.0L EA888 82.5mm

The Cometic C4976-045 is a precision-engineered Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket designed specifically for Volkswagen 2.0L 16-valve TFSI EA888 engines. This gasket features a compressed thickness of .045 inches and an 82.5mm bore diameter, providing optimal sealing and compression control for both stock and performance applications.

Key Features:

• Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction for superior sealing and durability
• .045" compressed gasket thickness for precise compression ratio tuning
• 82.5mm bore diameter specifically sized for EA888 engine blocks
• Designed without AVS (Audi Valvelift System) provisions for specific engine variants
• Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction better than composite gaskets
• Resists corrosion and maintains seal integrity under extreme temperatures and pressures

Cometic gaskets are manufactured using advanced materials and processes to ensure exceptional reliability in demanding automotive applications. The MLS design features multiple layers of stainless steel with elastomeric coatings, allowing the gasket to recover and maintain clamping force even as the head and block move independently under thermal cycling. This gasket is ideal for turbocharged applications where consistent sealing is critical to performance and reliability.
