Cylinder head gasket
Cylinder head gasket equal to the original Main features Very high sealing capacity and reliability Perfect compatibility with each indicated application Unbeatable quality-price ratio The head gasket is a technological, complex and fundamental component. To meet the continuous needs of the market, Athena subjects the head gaskets to intense control tests, both during the design phase and during the bench tests. The Athena head gasket can be produced using different technologies, for example metal / elastomer combinations or multilayer with steel materials and Athena coating. Choosing an excellent quality gasket is the first step towards the reliability of your engine. Depending on the type, it is subjected to: 1. High-precision cutting Using the latest generation lasers it is possible to obtain a high degree of precision and purity of the cut, totally eliminating production burrs. These can in fact cause infiltration of various elements (oil, water, compression gas), compromising the functioning of the engine. 2. Relief alignment This solution increases the elasticity of the gasket during operation, ensuring an excellent seal over time, even in extreme conditions. On the contrary, a misalignment of the blades would cause an immediate flattening of the gasket, eliminating the elastic memory function and the consequent loss of compression.
