Construction & Design

This gasket features a multi-layer steel design with multiple embossed stainless steel layers that provide exceptional strength, flexibility, and sealing capability. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a fluorocarbon elastomer known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical durability, ensuring a tight seal even under harsh operating conditions.

The center shim layer is made of uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control and the ability to absorb and resist the shearing forces generated between dissimilar materials such as aluminum cylinder heads and cast iron engine blocks. This design prevents leaks and gasket failure, maintaining engine reliability over time.
