Gaskets are mechanical seals which are used to fill the space between two objects, generally to prevent unnecessary leakage between the objects while under compression. They are cost-effective products. The gaskets for various applications may contain asbestos. It is usually desirable to have these parts made from a compressible or slightly compressible material such that it tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularity.

Gaskets are made for different applications and come in many different types. Examples of these are the super gaskets being manufactured by the Hooker brand. Hooker’s precision matched super header gaskets provide a sure fit and unmatched exhaust sealing capacity. These original equipment manufacturer quality gaskets are constructed of a thick 0.

070” laminated, graphite-impregnated substrate. The substrate, which is combined with a perforated aluminum core, provides superior grip and adhesion. This special construction also contributes to exact fit compliance between the cylinder head and the header flange, offering superior sealing properties during extreme temperature and operating conditions. Once the header gasket is installed in the system of your vehicle, the part will give a precision fit for an improved sealing. Because of its unique substrate construction, this will provide superior adhesion characteristics. Its design will also contribute to the exact fit between the cylinder head and the header to improve exhaust flow. The Hooker Header Gasket is a perfect choice if ever your auto’s stock header gasket needs immediate replacement. The part can provide efficient sealing characteristics, thanks to the material used in crafting it. The Hooker Header Gaskets are perfect match for your exhaust header. These gaskets are thick and tear-resistant and are precisely cut to match the header.
