Cylinder Head Gasket Set

from

$58.81
Metaloflex Cylinder-head Gaskets Elring cylinder-head gaskets are high-tech components used in modern combustion engines. As key components, they help to ensure that engines run efficiently, reliably and economically. Developed by ElringKlinger, Metaloflex is a globally recognized brand of innovative metal layer cylinder-head gaskets made of beaded, elastomer-coated spring steel layers. Multilayer steel cylinder-head gaskets are available in various bead designs and with a different number of layers, depending on the OE specification of the respective car manufacturer. Metaloflex gaskets may be of single or multi-layer design depending on the application. Thanks to the modular design elements, this sealing system can be individually adapted to suit the requirements of the specific engine. This technology avoids the need for time-consuming, costly iterative processes whilst guaranteeing maximum engine design flexibility.

Product Features:
  • Produced from spring steel for long-lasting flexibility of beads
  • Thermal stability up to 600F
  • Full or partial FPM surface coverage of head and block layer for micro-sealing of liquids and combustion gas – extended service life
  • Heat treatment of functional layers further enhances gasket durability and this technology is exclusively applied to ElringKlinger metal gaskets
  • Tightening instructions provided with each gasket for perfect results

Victor Reinz – Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set (Part No.14-32056-01)

Engine Cylinder Head Bolt Set

from

$38.99
Using new head bolts when performing a cylinder head installation is always a good idea however, on late-model engines that came from the factory with TTY (torque-to yield) head bolts, replacement is an absolute necessity. TTY bolts are designed to exert the maximum clamping force for a tight head gasket seal, however they permanently stretched and could fail if re-used.

Product Features:
  • Choosing Victor Reinz assures getting OE quality parts in gaskets sets that have the coverage, contents, packaging and electronic cataloging to best meet the needs of the aftermarket.

AE – Federal Mogul Intake Valve (Part No.A406028627AE)

Federal Mogul Intake Valve

from

$17.55
The AE range of high quality valve-train components includes application-specific valves, design and manufactured to OE standards. The top-engine environment is increasingly hostile, due to turbocharging and other techniques for CO2 reduction. Only components that employ OE design expertise, with the latest advanced materials and manufacturing quality, can provide the performance and durability that professional engine technicians demand. Valves are subjected to some of the highest stresses and temperatures in the engine, yet not only must they survive, they must also continue to seal perfectly. As a top-engine expert with a long heritage of innovation, AE provides the answer with high-precision designs. The choice of material is so critical that some AE valves, known as bi-metallic valves, are made from two materials, with the head optimized for strength and temperature resistance and the stem optimized to resist wear.

Product Features:
  • OE Quality
  • Optimized for strength
  • High temperature strength
  • Stem optimized to resist wear

TRW – TRW Exhaust Valve (Part No.A4050169647TRW)

TRW Exhaust Valve

from

$60.51
TRW Engine Components is a recognized developer of valves and valve train components. A wide range of materials and material combinations are used to meet the engineering requirements in the different engine applications. Materials vary from ferritic martensitic steels (intake valves) and austentic CrMn based steels to extreme heat and corrosion resistant Nickel base super alloy for exhaust valves. To improve wear and corrosion resistance, valves can be chromium plated or nitrided. These coatings are used to improve the compatibility of the valve stem surface to the valve guide material. If necessary, exhaust valves (and in some cases also intake valves) can be hard-faced. In hard-facing, a more heat and wear resistant material is welded to form the valve seat. Seat hard-facing extends the valve life significantly.

Product Features:
  • OE Quality
  • Optimized for strength
  • Heat and corrosion resistant
  • Chromium plated or nitrided
  • Stem optimized to resist wear
