Cometic Porsche 944 2.5L 100.5mm .027 inch MLS Head Gasket

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with a compressed operating thickness of 0.027 inches, making it a solid choice for your 1983-1989 Porsche 944. It’s designed to handle the demands of high-output engines, providing a strong seal without needing additional sealants.

The gasket features multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). This Viton coating is crucial for meeting the sealing challenges presented by different engine materials, like aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, and it can withstand harsh environments and varying load conditions.

The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for adjustments in gasket thickness to meet specific engine requirements. This construction makes MLS gaskets suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, as they can manage the shearing forces that arise between dissimilar metals.
