Athena Racing head gaskets are now available from the MWS online store. A wide range of head gaskets has been added to the selection for tuned street cars, high-performance turbo engines, and actual motorsport use.
Athena is particularly known for head gasket solutions developed for high-performance engines. The range includes MLS, Cut Ring, and Cooper Ring designs, as well as various gasket thicknesses and cylinder bores for different engines and applications.
Athena head gaskets for high-performance engines
When an engine’s boost pressure, compression ratio, or power is increased, the demands on the head gasket also grow. The head gasket must maintain a seal under high combustion chamber pressures and temperatures, as well as in demanding continuous use.
Athena manufactures head gaskets specifically for these types of applications. For example, the Cut Ring design creates a highly effective mechanical seal around the combustion chamber, which is why it is widely used in high-power turbo and racing engines.
A wide selection for various engines
The Athena range added to the MWS online store covers a large number of European, Japanese, and American engines.
- Toyota

For many engines, the same gasket is available in alternative thicknesses, cylinder bores, or designs. In the online store, these options are grouped under the same engine- or model-specific product, making it as easy as possible to compare and find the right version.
MLS or Cut Ring?
MLS – Multi Layer Steel
A multi-layer steel head gasket is an excellent solution for many high-performance street and racing engines. In this design, multiple steel layers form a durable gasket that tolerates temperature fluctuations well.
Cut Ring
The Cut Ring solution is designed specifically for high cylinder pressures. A separate metal ring around the cylinder enhances combustion chamber sealing, making the design an attractive option for heavily turbocharged engines, for example.
