POINT
POINT-1
Gas seal surface pressure is maintained to increase the seal limits.
POINT-2
Combining with strengthened head bolts delivers even higher seal strength.
POINT-3
When combined with currently available stopper type gaskets, a wide range of thicknesses is now available delivering more compression ratio choices.
NOTE
With high surface pressure, the block/heads can warp. In order to overcome this, high thickness option is available to compensate for head/block machining.
