Athena MLS Head Gasket for Rover 200 II / 400 II / Honda Civic II / IV / V / Concerto / CRX II / City III 0.85 mm 77 mm 338108R

ATHENA Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Gasket

Material
ATHENA MLS gaskets feature a combination of 3 to 5 layers made from different types of raw materials.

The combination of outer and inner layers is designed to offer superior performance to standard compression, and the type of steel used may vary according to engine requirements.
Athena MLS gaskets provide uniform clamping load across the sealing surface to compensate for any cylinder deformation.

The Athena MLS gasket is the ideal solution for both aluminum cylinder heads with cast iron blocks and aluminum cylinder heads with aluminum blocks.

Manufacturing Process
Newly designed Athena MLS head gaskets are made from high-quality, high-hardness 301 stainless steel.
Each layer is individually formed using state-of-the-art laser cutting and embossed with an optimized forming process.
Two layers of the head gasket undergo a stress relief process to significantly reduce the stress induced by embossing.
After the stress relief process, a proprietary two-component polymeric coating is applied, ensuring uniform coverage of the outer layers, with no interruptions in the coating. This process ensures the micro-sealing of engine coolant and oil fluids.

Athena MLS gaskets are tested and analyzed on engine test benches and in endurance tests.

Gas Stopper Technology

Gas Stopper technology is a key factor in the design of racing MLS head gaskets. The stainless steel stopper layer incorporates an innovative active folding system that provides a high-pressure seal around the cylinder bore when the cylinder head is tightened. The gas stopper is located around the combustion chamber, allowing for a tighter fit between the cylinder head and engine block, preventing gas leaks.

This also prevents component deformation due to faster temperature equalization. Benefits

Superior sealing properties under high-pressure conditions

Greater elasticity and constant load resistance

Optimized load balance

Improved engine performance

Increased durability

Patented Coating Technology

Our two-component polymer coating is applied after the stress relief process and ensures uniform coverage of the outer layers, with no interruptions in the coating. This process ensures the micro-sealing of engine coolant/oil fluids and meets the demands of various harsh environments.

The first layer is a high-temperature compound that adapts to surface irregularities of the engine block and cylinder head. (Typical MLS head gaskets require a 30 Ra surface finish, while Athena gaskets seal surface finishes up to 60 Ra).

The second layer easily peels off and does not adhere to contact surfaces when disassembling the engine.
