Construction & Design:

The gasket features a multi-layer steel (MLS) design, which is the industry standard for high-performance and OEM replacement head gaskets. Each layer is precision stamped from high-grade stainless steel, providing excellent strength and flexibility to accommodate engine block and cylinder head surface irregularities. The inclusion of HP shim technology enhances the gasket’s ability to maintain consistent clamp load, especially around critical combustion chamber areas, reducing the risk of head gasket failure.

Both sides of the gasket are coated with a durable Viton-based sealant, which offers exceptional resistance to heat, oil, and coolant exposure. This coating ensures a tight seal and helps prevent leaks even under extreme operating conditions. The gasket’s 0.120-inch thickness balances durability with the necessary compression to maintain a reliable seal without compromising engine performance.
