Cometic Porsche M44.07/M44.08/M44.09/M44.10 924 .086in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 103mm Bore

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1962-1975 Lotus Elan, or a compatible Porsche 924 or 944, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing combustion pressure. This Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket from Cometic is built to handle the demands of high-output engines.

Cometic's MLS design uses multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and varying surface finishes. This construction means the gasket seals effectively without needing additional sealants, and it's well-suited for applications with aluminum heads and cast iron blocks, as it can manage the shearing forces between different metals. The center shim layer is stainless steel and can be varied to achieve different thicknesses; this particular gasket has a compressed thickness of 0.086 inches and a bore size of 103mm.
