Nitto DBS Metal Head Gasket - Ford Barra 4.0 - Falcon (BA / BF / FG / FG X) / Territory (SX / SY / SZ)
A DBS Drag Series multi-layer steel head gasket for the Barra six in the BA to FG X Falcon, XR6 Turbo, FPV F6 and Territory. It is built to hold high boost in street, drag and circuit engines, and suits bores from 92.25 to 92.75 mm, covering Nitto's +0.010" and +0.020" pistons.
Choose a thickness of 1.1 mm, 1.4 mm or 1.7 mm. A thicker gasket lowers compression and adds piston-to-head clearance, so pick it to suit your target compression ratio and boost.
Nitto's DBS Drag Series gasket combines a bead seal with a stainless steel "O-ring" around each cylinder, which locks the layers together against combustion pressure. An HR-200 coating, a step up from the Viton coating used on cheaper gaskets, seals the water and oil passages between head and block.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.

- DBS Drag Series multi-layer steel (MLS) construction

- Bore seal pressure verified by Nitto with Fuji Prescale pressure-film testing
