Cometic Porsche M44.11/M44.12/M44.41 944 .056in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 106mm Bore

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, featuring an outer layer coated with Viton rubber. When compressed, it measures 0.036 inches thick and has a 106mm bore, making it suitable for specific applications like the Porsche 944 and certain Honda Civic models. MLS gaskets are known for their ability to handle high output engines without needing additional sealants, and they work well with both aluminum and cast iron blocks, resisting the shearing forces that can occur between different metals.

The strength of these MLS gaskets comes from their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound and resist corrosion. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant elastomer capable of withstanding up to 482°F (250°C) in demanding sealing environments. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, and its thickness can be varied to meet different requirements, like the 0.056 inch thickness of this particular gasket.
