The Athena Cut Ring Racing Head Gasket for Honda K20 and K24A is a revolutionary product that is the perfect solution for high power applications. Gaskets with Cooper Ring are realized with a reinforced material M0115, renowned for being asbestos-free, original equipment approved and superior quality. These gaskets stand out also because they present separate stainless steel rings (AISI 304) that ensure maximum sealing around the cylinder bore, even on engines with NOS and/or turbo applications in which it can hold up to 2.4 bar (above atmosphere) and that the engine/head studs allow for the amount of pressure. This is an unrivalled figure compared to competitors as most gaskets tend to blow at around 1.4 bar.
No head and block machining is required. If you remove the head for inspection then you will need to replace the gasket only. If you replace the cut rings, there will be a slight indent in the cylinder head that will need to be skimmed off to ensure a good seal is made. Finally, the application of silicon beading on critical areas helps to improve sealing around all water and oil cooling passages.
