Gaskets

A gasket is a mechanical seal that connects two or more flat parts together to maximize the efficiency of the system that the parts comprise. In vehicles, gaskets can be found in several locations under the hood, such as between the cylinder head and the engine block, between the engine oil pan and the oil cooler, and between the crankcase cover and the crankcase. When gaskets are absent or damaged, the performance of a vehicle can suffer mightily.

Enjuku Racing supplies a wide selection gaskets for different automobiles, and our Nissan 240SX gaskets are among our most popular. When the engine of a car is rebuilt, mechanics recommend replacing old gaskets to ensure that the new engine performs at top capacity.

Choose Gaskets That are Made for the Vehicle

Because the role of gaskets is to form tight seals between parts, it’s essential to choose gaskets that are designed to be paired with the components of your vehicle. Otherwise, the gaskets may form insufficient seals that compromise the operation of vehicle systems that need them, such as the oil distribution system and the crankcase system.

Choose the Right Gasket for Each Application

If your car customization project entails rebuilding the engine, you’ll need to apply several types of gaskets to make the project a success. When purchasing gaskets, be sure to buy ones that are made to be applied in the places where they are needed. Using the wrong gasket for an application can be like using no gasket at all, and will sabotage your car’s performance.  

Choose Gaskets That are Highly Durable

Gaskets are made from material that ranges from paper-like composition, to metal, to layered, high-grade composites. If your customization project includes tuning up vehicle systems for increased performance, it’s essential to choose gaskets whose construction supports the performance boost. Gaskets made from layered composites often provide the best seal.
