Athena Racing Engine Gaskets at JXL Performance

Manufactured in Italy, Athena Racing is a globally recognized leader in engine sealing technology for both OEM and high performance aftermarket applications. Known for their exceptional quality and precision engineering, Athena head gaskets are the trusted choice for professional engine builders and fast road enthusiasts pushing extreme cylinder pressures. Their strict commitment to continuous innovation and rigorous quality control testing ensures that every gasket meets or exceeds industry standards, giving you absolute peace of mind when assembling a high horsepower engine.

Advanced Multi Layer Steel (MLS) Technology

Standard factory gaskets are a known weak point when you drastically increase engine boost and heat. They simply cannot handle the extreme thermal stress and often fail, leading to catastrophic engine damage. Athena solves this by utilizing advanced multi layer steel (MLS) construction paired with superior composite materials.

This multi layer design allows the gasket to compress and conform perfectly to the micro surface finish of both the engine block and the cylinder head. This creates an incredibly robust, blow proof seal that maintains combustion pressure under extreme track conditions. Furthermore, these premium materials offer massive resistance to wear and chemical breakdown from heavy duty engine oil and coolant.

The Ultimate Seal for EcoBoost, Duratec and VAG Engines

Whether you are building a high boost daily driver or a fully forged motorsport engine, keeping the combustion chamber sealed is absolutely critical. Athena MLS head gaskets are highly sought after in the fast Ford tuning scene, offering perfect direct fitment for the 1.6 EcoBoost, 2.0 EcoBoost, and the 2.3 EcoBoost found in the Focus RS, alongside the legendary 2.5 Duratec.

They are equally dominant across the Volkswagen and Audi platforms. Athena provides the ultimate sealing solution to handle aggressive Stage 3 tuning on the EA113, the modern EA888, and the incredible Audi five cylinder EA855 engine.
