â–¶ Vehicle Fitments
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, resilience, and corrosion resistance. The outer layers are embossed and coated with a Viton rubber-based material, which is heat resistant up to 2500°C (4820°F). This coating ensures reliable sealing in harsh environments, while the center shim layer provides precise compression and durability. The gasket's multilayer steel design delivers superior load distribution and sealing integrity, making it suitable for high-performance and modified engines. Its robust construction helps prevent leaks and maintain optimal compression, contributing to engine reliability and efficiency.
This gasket is specifically designed for the Porsche 944 with a 2.5L engine, featuring a bore diameter of 103mm and a thickness of .040 inches. It is intended as a direct replacement for the stock head gasket, ensuring proper fitment and sealing performance. Suitable for street and performance applications, it can handle increased boost, compression, and power output. Installation involves standard head gasket replacement procedures, and the kit includes the gasket itself. Compatibility is specific to the Porsche 944 2.5L models, and no additional modifications are typically required. This gasket provides a durable, high-quality seal for both daily driving and track use.

Overview
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.
