Magnum Gaskets has tripled its product offering to nearly 1,000 SKUs as part of its continued growth initiative. Over the past 12 months, world-class head gaskets, head sets and head bolts have joined Magnum’s line of premium-quality valve cover, oil pan and manifold gaskets at very competitive prices. Magnum’s make and model application coverage also continues to climb with the addition of newer models and specialized vehicles in diesel and high performance markets.

For almost 20 years, Magnum’s parent company, Modern Silicone Technologies Inc. (MSI), has been a premier supplier of hi-tech molded rubber, plastic and metal gaskets to major aftermarket brands and OEM. Derek Data, vice president of Magnum Gaskets states, “When the Magnum Gaskets brand was introduced last year, it meant that the aftermarket would have direct access to the top quality gaskets that knowledgeable people had demanded for years under older brand names. Now we’re moving past that stage, becoming a well-known and respected brand of our own”

Under Magnum’s “USA FIRST” policy, more than 90% of Magnum Gaskets are designed, manufactured and packaged in the USA. Magnum recently introduced a complete line of performance gaskets, featuring advanced materials and designs for Chevy SB, BB and GM LS motors plus popular Ford and Chrysler applications. All sets come in attractive skin packs that contain everything necessary for a successful installation. Magnum has addressed the diesel market by adding 99 new individually boxed heavy duty gaskets and seals for popular Class 4 to Class 8 diesel trucks. Coverage includes Dodge/Ram Cummins, Ford Powerstroke, GM Duramax, Navistar DT466, Cat C7 & C9, Detroit Diesel Series 60 and Cummins ISX.

The belt drive system is designed to create friction between the grooves on the belt and pulley to transfer power from the crankshaft to the alternator, water pump or power steering pump.
