<p data-oe-version="2.0"><strong>Cylinder Head Gasket – Alfa Romeo Twin Spark 8V – Separated Stainless Steel Rings</strong></p><p>Engineered for high-performance and competition use, this <strong>Alfa Romeo Twin Spark head gasket</strong> is designed with <strong>individual stainless steel sealing rings</strong> for each cylinder, providing superior combustion sealing under extreme pressure and thermal stress.</p><p>Unlike conventional composite gaskets, this configuration isolates the combustion chambers using <strong>independent metal sealing rings</strong>, preventing gasket failure due to localized hot spots, detonation, or cylinder pressure imbalance. The main body of the gasket is composed of <strong>high-density reinforced fiber or multi-layer steel (MLS)</strong>, ensuring excellent sealing around coolant and oil passages while accommodating block and head surface irregularities.</p><h3>Key features:</h3><ul>
<li><p><strong>Separated stainless steel fire rings</strong>: Increased sealing integrity at cylinder pressures over 12:1 compression or under forced induction</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Reinforced gasket body</strong>: High-resistance to blow-by and thermal cycling</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Customizable thicknesses available on request</strong> for precise control of deck height and static compression</p></li>
<li><p>Designed for <strong>Alfa Romeo Twin Spark 8V heads</strong>, suitable for both NA and turbocharged builds</p></li>
<li><p>CNC-located rings for perfect concentricity with bore geometry</p></li>
</ul><p>Ideal for motorsport, engine rebuilds with custom pistons or head work, and high-output street engines.</p><blockquote data-o-mail-quote-node="1" data-o-mail-quote="1">
<p>? <em>Need a specific gasket thickness?</em></p><p>
We can manufacture head gaskets to your custom specification for <strong>exact compression ratio control</strong> — contact us with your bore and thickness requirements. By default, sickness is 1.6 mm for bore 85</p>
