HKS Engine Internals
Head Gaskets
HKS Metal head gaskets are constructed from multiple layers of steel to ensure proper head to block sealing, even under the most severe conditions. The special metal used in the construction of the head gaskets is resistant to both heat and corrosion. All gaskets are coated with a special fluorine rubber coating to provide the ultimate sealing. Three different specifications are available (Stopper, Bead and Grommet) depending on application.
Camshafts
HKS high performance camshafts are computer designed to optimize torque and horsepower and are available in three profiles. Mild offers the widest possible powerband on modified street vehicles. High Performance are designed for more heavily prepared engines operating in higher rev ranges but still exibit fair to good drivability and can be used on dual purpose vehicles. Race cams are for race prepared engines that rev at very high RPM levels. Race cams typically exhibit poor low speed drivability. All HKS camshafts are ground to exact specifications from new billets of high nickel iron alloy and equal or exceed the OE units they are designed to replace in terms of quality and workmanship.
HKS Piston and Ring sets
HKS light weight high density cast aluminium piston sets are sold as complete with rings, pins and clips. Piston sets are available for both low and high compression engines used for racing purposes. Forged pistons are also available by special order.
HKS Steel crankshafts & con-rods.
HKS steel crankshafts represent the ultimate in strength and durability. Crankshafts such as the type used on the Skyline GTR have been developed on HKS' own drag vehicles. Constructed from steel billet and balanced to exacting standards, there is simply no better crank to use for top-level race engines. HKS steel rods are made to the same high specification and use the strongest of 'H' section designs.
Ultra Light Flywheels
The ultralight flywheels realize a harmony of enhanced response and stabilized engine idling. The concept behind the ultralight flywheel stems from the desire to experience more high RPM responsiveness on low-end torque orientated engines.
