For almost twenty years, Magnum’s parent company, Modern Silicone Technologies Inc. (MSI), has been manufacturing valve cover, oil pan and manifold gaskets for major aftermarket brands and OE service at their plant in Clearwater, Florida.
“We needed a facility that could keep up with our design advances and expanded product line,” said Alex Grunfeld, Vice President at Magnum Automotive Group. “With 125,000 square feet under one roof, we’re better prepared to deliver the cutting edge technology and world-class quality for today’s aftermarket. Being on a large parcel of open land, there is room to grow beyond that, if needed.” Hundreds of guests are expected to attend a Magnum Open House at the new plant later in 2012.
One example of Magnum’s multi-faceted production capability can be found in valve cover gaskets for Ford-Navistar Powerstroke Diesel engines. These gaskets serve the dual role of sealing the valve cover and providing the connection between the engine’s management system and the fuel injectors. These gaskets feature nylon composite carriers with multiple locating tabs, precision molded silicone rubber sealing beads, and molded-in-place electrical connectors for the fuel injection wiring harness.
Magnum valve cover gaskets found in set VS25013 have two electrical connectors and fit most 1994-1997 Ford Powerstroke production. Magnum set VS25004 contains gaskets with one electrical connector and is designed for 1998-2003 Ford Powerstroke models. Magnum Gaskets is one of only a few manufacturers in the world with the plastic/rubber molding technology and engine sealing expertise required to produce such sophisticated parts.
More than 90% of Magnum products are designed, manufactured and packaged in the U.S.A. The complete Magnum Gasket line covers more than 80% of sales in manifold, valve cover and oil pan gasket categories for domestic and import cars and light trucks, at very competitive prices. Gasket sets contain everything the installer will need for a successful repair and every part meets or exceeds OEM standards. Sets are packaged in durable boxes with informative tri- lingual labels and installation guides.
