Victor 54172 Reinz Nitroseal Expanded Graphite Cylinder Head Gasket

The Victor Reinz 54172 is a premium OE-replacement cylinder head gasket constructed with Victor Reinz's patented Nitroseal technology — an expanded graphite facing material clinched to a perforated steel core. Engineered to deliver the same sealing integrity your engine had when it was new, this gasket is a trusted choice for bi-metal engines where thermal expansion differences between cast iron blocks and aluminum cylinder heads demand superior conformability.

Key Features:

• Nitroseal Expanded Graphite Construction: Graphite facing material clinched to a perforated steel core for a reliable, long-lasting seal
• Extreme Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 1,800°F, making it ideal for high-performance and high-stress engine environments
• Superior Conformability: Accommodates cylinder head motion caused by thermal expansion, sealing effectively over a wide range of surface finishes
• Full Fluid Protection: Seals against coolant, oil, fuel, and antifreeze under high internal combustion pressures
• OE-Quality Replacement: Engineered to OE fit, form, and function standards — the same gasket technology supplied to original equipment manufacturers worldwide
• Sold Individually: One (1) cylinder head gasket per purchase

Victor Reinz, a brand of Dana Incorporated, has been a global leader in gasket technology since 1909. The 54172 is the ideal solution for engine rebuilds and head gasket replacements where a durable, precision seal is critical.
