Athena Cut Ring Racing Head Gasket for Volvo 240 740 960 B23 2.3 330028R

The Athena Cut Ring Racing Head Gasket is developed for high-performance and motorsport applications, delivering exceptional combustion sealing and durability under extreme thermal and mechanical loads typical of motorsports and drag racing. With a thickness of 2.00 mm and a bore diameter of 97.10 mm, this gasket is designed for high-pressure engines, including turbocharged and NOS applications where boost exceeds 2 bar.

Key Features

Stainless Steel Cut Rings (AISI 304): Separate support rings provide maximum sealing efficiency around the cylinder bores, preventing compression loss even in extreme turbocharged or NOS applications.

Cut Ring Technology: Combines the benefits of high-pressure sealing using recessed copper-style rings without requiring irreversible modifications to the engine block.

Reinforced Motorgasket Core: A steel core covered with two layers of asbestos-free aramid fibre, developed by Athena’s R&D department, ensuring excellent thermal and mechanical resistance while maintaining optimal adaptability to cylinder head and block surfaces.

Silicone Beading: Applied to critical sealing areas such as oil and coolant passages to ensure maximum sealing reliability in all operating conditions.

Motorsport-Focused Design: Engineered to withstand the extreme stresses associated with motorsport and drag racing use.

Installation Notes

Designed for high-pressure applications without the need for engine block machining.

Maintains sealing integrity under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.

Each gasket reflects Athena’s continuous research and development aimed at performance, reliability, and endurance.
