330 COOPER RING GASKET FEATURES
For specific high horsepower applications, engine performance can be significantly improved by using Athena Cooper Ring gaskets, that are supplied with INOX steel rings.
This technology outperforms conventional fire ring solutions. Reinforced material M0115 (see features below): asbestos free composite raw material OE approved.
Manufacturing Process
Athena MLS gaskets are manufactured from high grade 301 stainless steel. Each layer is individually formed using a state of the art laser cutter and embossed with an optimized formation process.All head gaskets go through a stress relieving process to significantly reduce forming induced stress.
Gasket Coating
All Athena gaskets recieve a two part polymer coating applied after stress relieving to the outer layers providing no break in the coating. This coating ensures the micro seal properties of the gasket for engine oils / collants and is able to withstand a variety of harsh environments caused byengine heat cycles.
Gas Stopper Technology
Athena Gas Stopper technology is a key design feature of Athena MLS gaskets. The stainless steel stopper layer features an "active fold" which deliveres a high pressure seal around the cylinder bore when tightening the cylinder head.
The gas stopper / active fold is located around the combustion chamber, allowing cylinder head and engine block to clamptighter helping to prevent gases leak from the combustion chamber
