MAHLE gaskets – In the last 15 years, MAHLE has invested in gasket tooling to cover 10,000 part numbers for nearly 900,000 applications, making the company the industry leader. Each gasket set includes every component needed to complete a repair and is packaged to display the contents inside or an illustration of them.

CLEVITE® engine bearings – Used to modify stock engines or build racing engines, CLEVITE® engine bearings have repeatedly demonstrated their performance and reliability in racing applications. Available as TriMetal™ engine bearings, they feature three layers: copper-lead alloy layer, steel back layer and white-metal electroplated surface layer. The three-layer construction reduces drag, increases horsepower and offers a load capacity of 12,000 psi. Also available as TriArmor™ coated engine bearings, these bearings combine TriMetal™ technology with a moly/graphite, high-pressure, high-load, dry-film treatment that provides additional protection across a wide range of temperatures.

From a small test workshop to one of the top 20 automotive suppliers, MAHLE is proud to celebrate 100 years of delivering superior quality products around the world.
