Gaskets

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 Old Technology
of the Motor Factory head gasket applications. This multi-layer fiber/
metal reinforced composite head gasket delivers improved combustion
6 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.
