Construction & Design

The Victor Reinz Cylinder Head Gasket features a robust multi-layer steel (MLS) design, which is the industry standard for modern high-performance engines. Multiple layers of steel provide excellent sealing capabilities by conforming to the microscopic irregularities of the cylinder head and engine block surfaces. This design ensures a tight seal under extreme combustion pressures and thermal cycling.

Each layer is coated with a specialized sealing compound that enhances adhesion and prevents leaks. The gasket’s 93mm bore diameter matches the 5.7L Hemi’s cylinder specifications, ensuring proper combustion chamber sealing without interference. The materials used are selected for their resistance to heat, oil, and coolant, contributing to long-term durability and engine protection.
