VW 1.8L 16V RACE Metal cylinder head gasket Cometic

Cylinder head gasket RACE for VW 1.8L 16V (KR & PL) engines in various thicknesses for customised compression.

83.0mm bore
0.70mm to 3.56mm thickness

(The standard gasket has a thickness of 1.75mm)

With our compression calculator you can easily calculate the compression for different head gasket thicknesses. This allows you to quickly and easily find the right thickness for your engine.

These head gaskets are used particularly in high-performance engines in formula and rally sport. The special composition of various metal multilayers not only achieves far better thermal conductivity, but also increases pressure stability enormously!

These head gaskets are used in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines in motorsport.

Various thicknesses of cylinder head gaskets are available so that the compression can be individually adapted to each engine.

New head bolts should always be used!
Or even better ARP stud bolt.
