Cometic Porsche M44.07/M44.08/M44.09/M44.10 924 .080in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 103mm Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, getting the cylinder head gasket right is crucial for sealing combustion and coolant passages. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket from Cometic is built to handle the pressures of a well-tuned engine.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel, which gives it strength and helps it resist corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that seals well against aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, even with the differences in how those materials expand. This gasket has a compressed thickness of .036 inches and is designed for a 103mm bore, making it a solid option for specific M44 Porsche engines found in some Elans.

Because it's an MLS gasket, it doesn't require any additional sealants, simplifying the installation process. Just make sure your block and head surfaces are clean and flat before installation.
