Metal head gasket with CUT Ring technology, perfect for Turbo conversion and performance upgrades Athena Cylinder Head Gasket (Cut Ring) Audi / VW 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI / TSI (EA888 1. + 2. GEN) Multi-layer head gasket with stainless steel rings, bore 83,50mm, thickness 1,40mm Metal head gasket with Cut Ring technology, perfect for Turbo conversion and performance upgrade The specified bore dimension is always that of the cylinder head gasket! I.e. the diameter of the bore of your engine block must always be 0.5 - 1.0mm smaller than the bore diameter of the cylinder head gasket! General example: 80.00mm is the bore diameter specification of the cylinder head gasket, then the bore of the engine block must be 79.00 - 79.50mm. Note: The stainless steel rings must be mounted with the grooves facing upwards (towards the cylinder head)! Make: AUDI / SEAT / SKODA / VW Type: 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI / TSI (EA888 1. + 2. GEN) Thickness: 1,40mm Bore: 83,50mm Technology: Stainless Steel Cut Ring Athena presents the new Cut Ring gasket for Audi / Seat / Skoda / VW 1.8 / 2.0 TFSI / TSI (EA888 1. + 2. GEN) 4-cylinder engines. Cut Ring gaskets are the most suitable for turbo engines, which run at pressures exceeding 2 bar. These powerful engines require gaskets which can withstand really high temperatures and pressures. Athena’s R&D department has thus engineered the only aftermarket racing gasket on the market for engines, which ensures maximum sealing in all conditions. The gasket is produced in Motor Gasket®, the exclusive material developed and patented in Athena’s research laboratories, and features stainless steel sealing rings, machined from solid, around each cylinder bore opening. Motor Gasket® perfectly resists the stresses of high compression engines and it is treated with special anti-stick and anti-tear coatings. During installation, no modification of the head or engine block is necessary. Cut Ring To ensure exceptional sealing, greater than the one given by conventional fire rings, the gasket comes with stainless steel rings around each cylinder bore. These rings ensure excellent mechanical strength, heat dispersion capacity in the combustion chamber and tightness. Cut Rings are manufactured by machining centers with extremely tight tolerances. Ther special shape with cusps allows the gasket to fix on the cylinder head and to remain always in position, thus ensuring maximum tightness. SILICONE BEADING During the modelling phase, Athena R&D technicians study and define the critical areas of the gasket where it is necessary to improve the seal around the oil and coolant passages. A silicone beading is thus applied with high-precision screen printing machines. An optimal sealing guarantees maximum running efficiency and avoids engine damages or decreased performance SURFACE COATING The gasket is subsequently subjected to a silicone-based surface treatment to prevent any sticking to the cylinder head or the engine block, which would cause the gasket to tear and deteriorate over time, thus losing its sealing capacity MOTOR GASKET® SEALING MATERIAL Developed by Athena’s research laboratories, Motor Gasket® sealing material is conceived and produced to guarantee the quality, the efficiency and the reliability for which Athena stands out. Available in various thicknesses and configurations, it guarantees high mechanical and thermal resistance and it adapts optimally to sealing surfaces. They are also anticorrosion and resistant to oil, fuel and to mixtures of water and antifreeze Model / year / engine code: AUDI A3 (8P1): 1.8 TFSI [11/06 .. 08/12; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: BYT,BZB,CDAA] 1.8 TFSI quattro [07/08 .. 08/12; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: CDAA] 2.0 TFSI [09/04 .. 08/12; 147 kW (200 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: AXX,BWA,CAWB,CCZA] 2.0 TFSI quattro [09/04 .. 08/12; 147 kW (200 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: AXX,BWA,CCZA] AUDI A3 Cabriolet (8P7): 1.8 TFSI [04/08 .. 05/13; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: BZB,CDAA] 2.0 TFSI [04/08 .. 05/13; 147 kW (200 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: CAWB,CCZA] AUDI A3 Sportback (8PA): 1.8 TFSI [11/06 .. 03/13; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: BYT,BZB,CDAA] 1.8 TFSI quattro [07/08 .. 03/13; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: CDAA] 2.0 TFSI [09/04 .. 03/13; 147 kW (200 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: AXX,BWA,CAWB,CBFA,CCZA] 2.0 TFSI quattro [09/04 .. 03/13; 147 kW (200 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: AXX,BPY,BWA,CCZA] AUDI A4 Allroad B8 (8KH): 2.0 TFSI quattro [05/13 .. 05/16; 162 kW (220 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: CPMB] 2.0 TFSI quattro [04/09 .. 05/16; 155 kW (211 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: CDNC,CPMA] AUDI A4 B8 (8K2): 1.8 TFSI [11/07 .. 03/12; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: CABB,CDHB] 1.8 TFSI [01/08 .. 12/15; 88 kW (120 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: CABA,CDHA] 1.8 TFSI quattro [09/08 .. 03/12; 118 kW (160 HP); 1798 ccm; Engine codes: CDHB] 2.0 TFSI [06/08 .. 12/15; 132 kW (180 HP); 1984 ccm; Engine codes: CAEA,CDNB,CFKA] 2.0 TFSI [05/13 ..
