HKS Bead Type Head gasket

HKS metal head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of steel to ensure proper head to block sealing under the most demanding high performance conditions. In the construction of each HKS head gasket, a special metal which is extremely resistant to the severe levels of both heat and corrosion, that is attributed with high-horsepower and high-boost conditions, is used to ensure gasket integrity. Aside from the durable internal construction, all HKS head gaskets are also coated with a special fluorine rubber coating to provide the ultimate sealing. HKS head gaskets are designed to accommodate for oversize pistons and altered compression ratios. For certain applications, multiple gasket thicknesses are available to change the dynamic compression ratio according to the needs and characteristics of the various levels tuning and engine conditions. HKS gaskets are not designed to cure sealing problems caused by head or block irregularities. This HKS bead type metal head gasket is the most popular type of metal head gasket due to its simplicity in manufacturing. This gasket is a very effective gasket for sealing because of its flexibility. The raised bead around each combustion chamber ensures a tight seal for high compression and high boost engines. The bead type gasket is the least expensive gasket of the three metal type head gaskets
