When an engine running high boost, high compression - or both - is ‘pushed’ hard, it often suffers from blown head gaskets. Steel head gaskets are a positive alternative.

Too often an engine builder is faced with the time consuming and expensive option of ‘sealing’ an engine with custom-manufactured rings or steel head gaskets.

However, through AVO Turboworld expanding their amazing range of special high performance hardware to include a number of super duty dual-steel head gaskets for most popular contemporary turbocharged engines, locating a suitable part no longer needs to be a concern.

Each gasket consists of twin reinforced competition quality stainless steel plates; a highly desirable feature which allows for significant expansion (typical of extreme temperatures) without fear of blowout or leakage.

The steel gaskets can be re-used; bolt straight in and don’t require re-tensioning after run in.

AVO’s exciting new gaskets are available in a range of thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.6mm and 2.0mm and are priced from $500.

These almost indestructible dual-steel head gaskets are available either from AVO or through their Australia-wide dealer network. For details, contact; AVO at; 57 Taunton Drive, Cheltenham. Victoria. 3192 Phone: (03) 9584 4499 Fax: (03) 9584 4008. Email: avo@bigpond.com
