Dana Incorporated’s Victor Reinz Wave-Stopper multi-layer steel gaskets feature Dana-patented technology designed to address the increased sealing requirements of head gaskets in today’s light and commercial diesel engines and forced-induction vehicles. The Wave-Stopper design utilizes topography within the gasket structure to create a uniform seal despite severe service environments. The varied bead height between bolt spans results in more uniform sealing stress at the combustion opening, and this uniformity results in less bore distortion and improved piston ring seal.
