VW V5 Cylinder Head Gasket for AQN AZX with Compression Reduction 7.83:1

Compression-reducing multi-layer steel cylinder head gasket for V5 engines

Special turbo cylinder head gasket.

Manufacturer: WP-Spezialteile / Reinz 61-36100-00

Material: Multi-layer steel

Total thickness: 4.6 mm

Engine codes: AQN, AZX

Compression ratio: 7.83:1 (standard 10.8:1)

This special complete-solution cylinder head gasket for turbo and supercharger conversions already integrates a thicker, coated intermediate layer and compression reduction.

The new compression ratio is 7.83:1. Metal gaskets are characterised by a very long service life.

This version is considerably easier to install than two cylinder head gaskets with a spacer plate, saving you the cost of two gaskets and a spacer plate.

Warning: only for engines with a turbocharger or supercharger!

When converting to a turbocharger or supercharger, the compression ratio must be reduced. This can be achieved using special pistons or a spacer plate. This allows significantly higher boost pressures and power outputs. Under normal compression ratios, the original pistons may not withstand the resulting temperatures or may operate at the knock limit.

Available from us in different thicknesses:

• 1.6 mm = 9.84:1
