About this part

Product Details

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is what you get when you need a solid seal for your 1977-1982 Porsche 924 or 924 Turbo. It's built with multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers getting a Viton rubber coating. This design helps ensure a strong seal, even with aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, and it's made to handle the demands of higher output engines without needing extra sealants.

The stainless steel layers give this gasket its strength and help it resist corrosion, while the Viton coating on the outside layers can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. The center layer is also stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet different needs; in this case, it's set to provide a compressed thickness of 0.036 inches with an 88mm bore, specifically for your 924. This construction means it's well-suited for engines that push a bit more power.
