Designed and manufactured in Italy, Athena reinforced head gaskets come in two forms:

• MLS: these gaskets are made up of several stainless steel sheets stacked and riveted together. The sheets are laser cut for greater accuracy and receive an elastomer based surface treatment (NBR or FKM). To achieve optimum sealing, the cylinder outlines and the water and oil passages are pressed 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 to the critical points, the water and oil passages, ensures maximum sealing of the head gasket. This type of gasket is mandatory on heavily boosted engines.
