You do not need a MLS for ovr 18. I have run 25-35 no problem. The limit is the tuning.
This company makes a lot of money because people believe that a headgasket can make up for bad tuning.
The problem here is that you really need to know what the hell you are doing to put one on a 951, or it will leak on your shoes.

It will be on an 89 928 S4 engine. 5.0 liter block with 4V heads.
The tower walls, or as you may say the bore walls are thinner then yours. IE, they may move a bit more. I'm working on maybe doing some sort of deck control, but not welded.

I've installed numerous MLS gaskets on different types of motors and never had one leak. My 951 has a mls gasket with stock studs and a resurfaced head. Three years and 20K later it doesn't leak a drop. There's no reason a mls should leak provided you pay close attention to ensure the layers are flat, the surfaces are properly prepped, and the head is torqued properly.

I have been running 19-21 psi for almost 2 years since my MLS gasket was install and I have occasionally ran up to 23psi without any reported issues.
