Construction & Design:
This gasket is meticulously crafted from multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and the ability to rebound under pressure. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals. This coating ensures a reliable seal even in harsh operating environments. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness adjustments to meet specific engine requirements.
The embossed design enhances the gasket’s ability to conform to surface irregularities, ensuring a tight seal between the cylinder head and engine block. This design is particularly effective in managing the thermal expansion differences between aluminum heads and cast iron or aluminum blocks, preventing leaks and maintaining engine performance.
