Construction & Design:
This gasket features a robust multi-layer steel design, combining multiple embossed stainless steel layers to provide exceptional strength and flexibility. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals, ensuring long-lasting durability in harsh engine environments. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness customization to meet specific engine requirements.
The embossed design on the outer layers enhances sealing by creating a controlled compression zone, which adapts to surface irregularities between the cylinder head and engine block. This construction effectively prevents leaks of combustion gases, coolant, and oil, even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.
