Athena Racing 338 series multilayer steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket.
Athena MLS gaskets are designed to suit the requirements of today’s competition engines offering enhanced sealing compared to the OEM product. The gaskets are assembled from 2-5 layers of high quality stainless and spring steels.
Part number: 338463R
Gasket thickness: 1.35mm
Bore size: 82mm
|
Part number starting with 338 |
|
|
Athena advantages |
|
|
Optimized radius embossing shape |
The round shape of the embossing increases sealing on cylinder bore, oil and cooling water passages and improves spring back strength |
|
Advanced stopper technology |
State of the technology enhances sealing pressure around the cylinder. Highest sealing properties in high power engines |
|
Coating technology |
Designed & engineered by Athena the special coating applied on steel surfaces, improves temperature resistance & reliability of the head gasket |

Gates' timing belts offer a precision fit with easy installation and no interference engine damage - exactly what you've come to expect from the worldwide leader in timing belts.
- Tensile cord reinforced with premium, high-strength glass cords
- Gripping teeth with aramid fiber technology and high saturation HNBR elastomeric composites for exceptional durability and heat resistance.
- Wear-resistant tooth jacket supported by reinforced nylon fabric and double-tooth stability.
The superior construction of Gates timing belts makes them 300 percent stronger than the standard aftermarket belt while providing up to three times the heat resistance.
