Designed and manufactured in Italy, the reinforced ATHENA head gaskets are available in two forms:

• MLS: these gaskets are made up of several sheets of stainless steel stacked and riveted together. The stainless steel sheets are laser cut for increased precision and receive an elastomer-based surface treatment (NBR or FKM). To obtain optimal sealing, the outlines of the cylinders and of the water and oil passages are stamped and embossed. For the most extreme applications, reinforcement is added around the cylinders.
• O-ring: these gaskets consist of a steel sheet covered with asbestos-free aramid fibre and an AISI 304 stainless steel ring (around the cylinders). A bead of silicone applied at the critical points (water and oil passages) guarantees maximum sealing of the head gasket. This type of gasket is mandatory for heavily supercharged engines.
