Graphite Composite Steel Performance Head Gasket

New gasket technology for the Porsche 944 and 944 Turbo. Whether you are fighting the aging and corrosion of the gasket surfaces, or with the addition of boost and other performance adders to generate more HP, whatever it is, more HP means more gasket problems for the old paper laminate gasket in your 944. These gaskets were designed 30+ years ago. Now modern materials and manufacturing methods have produced a better gasket for your 944/951!

These gaskets are special in several ways. Start with the high density/expanded graphite composite material mechanically bonded to a perforated steel core. Add stainless steel fire rings that capture a copper core inside them, and add the fully encapsulated silicone coating that helps seal any gasket surface flaws or imperfections.

No O-rings Required: These head gaskets do not require O-rings and cannot be used with O-rings. The stainless steel armor/combustion seal w/contained copper wire rings is especially good at sealing low-boost assisted applications.Proof-tested on Porsche® 928 at up to 14 psi of boost without a failure.

This gasket has a 100mm (factory 2.5L) bore size and a thickness of 0.065″ (slightly greater than the factory thickness)

The Bottom Line: tougher fire rings, and better gasket sealing in all situations.
