Athena Cylinder head gasket (Cut Ring) RB26DET
Multi-layer Cut Ring Gasket, bore 88mm, thickness 1.52mm
Cylinder head gasket with Cut Rings for turbo conversion and performance upgrade
Motorsport technology now also available for the performance sector! The Athena cylinder head gaskets with separate Cut Rings are even more resistant to high combustion chamber pressures. They additionally seal the respective cylinders even better. The typical high horsepower engines problems with with lifted normal MLS (Multi-Layer-Steel) cylinder head gaskets are fixed. Cut Ring gaskets are the most suitable for turbo engines, which run at pressures exceeding 2 bar, and therefore require high mechanical and thermal resistance. Athena’s R&D department has engineered these gaskets to ensure maximum sealing even at high pressures and temperatures. The OE gaskets, multilayer steel MLS, have been replaced by a composite material consisting of a two layers aramid fiber material, reinforced by a central stainless steel layer. Stainless steel rings, machined from solid, are positioned around the cylinder bore openings of the gaskets, instead of the classic fire rings. The gasket material developed by Athena perfectly resists the stresses of high compression engines and it is treated with special anti-stick and anti-tear coatings. During installation, no modification of the head or engine block is necessary.
