GASKETS

Gaskets Motor Factory

In the past few years, Motor Factory has recognized the fact that the market’s appetite for higher performance engines with increased displacement and horsepower substantially increases the demands for gasket sealing performance. To meet the wide range of performance needs from stock engines to high compression engines, Motor Factory offers a new line of state-of-the-art gasket material technologies. Below are definitions of the new gasket material composites and their typical applications in the Motor Factory gasket product line. All Motor Factory gaskets are made in the USA.

State-Of-The-Art in Gasket Technology Definition and Applications MICROPORE technology material is an upgraded, highly permeation resistant sealing technology offering superior sealability at low flange loads in less-than-desirable surface conditions. Exhibits low creep relaxation and strong resistance to crush, eliminating the need to re-torque under normal joint conditions. Micropore is best suited in demanding cover type applications consisting of cast or stamped metals such as the following cover applications: outer primary, primary inspection covers, cam covers, lifter block covers, and transmission top covers. Additionally, Micropore gaskets provide outstanding sealing robustness in various fuel/air system applications such as air filter element, and fuel injection filter element gaskets. HYDRO-FUSED offers high crush resistance, exceptional torque retention, outstanding resistance to blowout and high surface friction on metal flanges. In addition Hydro-Fused gaskets provide resistance to thermally induced scrubbing while providing excellent sealing and load retaining properties. It is an extremely tough, high density, and very durable material designed to seal challenging applications such as cylinder base, and rocker box housings, and some head gaskets. Encore HTX-900 is special use Hydro- Fused composite for exhaust and head gasket applications. This material is a graphite coated, high-density non-asbestos fiber/metal reinforced composite for elevated temperature and thermally stressed head gasket application. SYNTHESEAL is an industry proven, general purpose Nitrile binder and reinforced fiber gasket material used in lower temperature and less difficult sealing environments. It exhibits excellent crush resistance at high flange pressures and compatibility with a wide range of fluids. Syntheseal gaskets are best suited for the following applications: transmission side covers, carburetor, air cleaner backing plate and intake, and transmission bearing housing gaskets. Resin Reinforced and High Tensile Strength fiber gaskets provide excellent erosion and blowout resistance in high-pressure oil pump applications. Tight thickness tolerance permits consistent gear and bearing stack-up. HIGH PERFORMANCE FACING MATERIAL WITH GRAPHITE COATING on Steel Core with Fire Ring is the new standard construction for most of the Motor Factory head gasket applications. This multi-layer fiber/ metal reinforced composite head gasket delivers improved combustion sealing strength along with excellent bolt load retention and outstanding resistance to blowout. With the anti-stick properties of the graphite coating, these head gaskets will not stick upon disassembly. RUBBER COATED STEEL (RCS) provides superior engine sealing to high performance engines, resulting in less maintenance and longer gasket life. RCS is ideal for tight tolerance applications. This material is superior in torque retention and improved conformance to flange finishes with surface imperfections. This material is best suited for rocker box housing gaskets. FOAM COATED STEEL CORE is a proven technology, ideal for machined and cast surfaces that are uneven. The foam is chemically-blown, and compounded with nitrile synthetic rubber, that is then bonded to an aluminum core. This material has exceptional recovery while maintaining strong torque retention. Proper installation of these gaskets will create a seal that prevents seeping, leaking, and weeping of lubricant fluids, and they will not rip, tear, or wick. This composite material is used for the Motor Factory 3-hole, and 5-hole solid derby cover gaskets.
