The Cometic MLS Head Gasket for the Porsche 944 2.5L is a high-performance sealing component designed to withstand demanding engine conditions. Constructed with three layers of stainless steel, this gasket offers enhanced strength, excellent rebound properties, and superior corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with a Viton rubber-based material, which provides exceptional heat resistance up to 2500°C (4820°F). This multilayer steel (MLS) design ensures a reliable seal under high pressure and temperature environments, making it ideal for performance applications. The gasket's durable construction helps maintain optimal compression and prevent leaks, contributing to engine longevity and consistent performance.

This gasket is specifically designed for Porsche 944 models with a 2.5L engine, featuring a bore diameter of 100.5mm and a thickness of .040 inches. It serves as a direct replacement for the stock head gasket, suitable for both stock and modified engines. The gasket's precise fitment ensures compatibility with the original engine specifications, making it suitable for street and track use. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. This product is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a durable, high-quality seal that can handle increased performance demands and harsh operating conditions.

Overview

The Cometic MLS gasket is comprised of three layers of Stainless Steel. Cometic uses Stainless steel for increased strength, its ability to rebound and corrosion resistance. The outer layers of the gasket are embossed and coated on both sides with a flouroelastomer rubber based material (Viton) designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The Viton coating is heat resistant to 2500C or 4820F.

The center or shim layer of the gasket is comprised of an uncoated Stainless Steel layer, which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. The MLS gasket is ideal for both aluminum heads to cast iron blocks and aluminum heads to aluminum blocks.

The composition of MLS will also withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks. No re-torque is necessary. By design the MLS gasket promotes an even torque load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.
