Cometic Porsche M44.07/M44.08/M44.09/M44.10 924 .066in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 103mm Bore

Starting with a compressed thickness of just 0.036 inches, this Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines. It's specifically designed for your 1983-1989 Porsche 944, ensuring a proper seal between the cylinder head and the block. This gasket is ideal for applications using aluminum heads with either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as the multiple stainless steel layers can manage the different expansion rates between these materials.

The strength of this MLS gasket comes from its multiple layers of stainless steel, which also help it resist corrosion and maintain its shape under stress. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This Viton coating is crucial for creating a reliable seal in harsh environments and across various surface finishes. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be adjusted to meet different sealing requirements, like the 0.066-inch thickness of this particular gasket, which also features a 103mm bore to match your engine.
