Summary: Mastery of the Squish and the temperature

The Copper cylinder head gasket 0.20 mm is the thickness "comfort" and safety for engines TMKART KZ-R2-R3. In the quest for performance, this seal is used by drivers and mechanics to increase the height of squish (Space between the piston and the cylinder head) to make the engine more flexible or to compensate for a new "high" piston.

Copper is preferred in competition because it ensures a Exceptional thermal dissipation, transferring the calories from the combustion chamber to the cooling circuit with efficiency much greater than the conventional joints.

- Why choose the thickness 0.20 mm?

1. Engine safety: A thickness of 0.20 mm is often used to increase the chamber volume during changing weather conditions or to make the engine on circuits requires very long loads.

2. Quality TMKART: Certified original piece ensuring a perfect inner diameter that does not encroach on the piston scan area.

3. Thermal conductivity: Avoid heat accumulation at the center of the cylinder head, thus reducing the risk of rattling (detonation).

4. High pressure sealing: The copper crashes uniformly during tightening to the torque of the cylinder head, guaranteeing a perfect seal even under very strong pressures.

- Michel's trick

"The 0-20 mm seal is your engine life insurance! My Pro Council: If you roll on a very fast circuit or you start your settings on a freshly revised motor, always starts with a joint a little thicker like this one to have a SQUISH Securing (often around 1.00 mm to 1.05 mm for a series R2). Once your carburation is well stalled and your temperatures are stable, you will be able to come down on 0.10 or 0.05 to pick up the last hundredths. Do not forget: a clean cylinder head and crosses are the two keys of a seal that does not flee! "

- Mounting & Volume Guide

• Control measurement: Always use a micrometer (Palmer) to check the actual thickness before assembly, because in competition, each hundredth account.

• Meaning of installation: Make sure the seal is perfectly flat. If he has a slight burr, deburring it very gently with fine stone.

• Tightening: Implement the tightening torque recommended by Tmkart (usually around 10 at 12 NM Cross) To not distort the seal plan.
