FAI's motor racing and manufacturing pedigree, together with over 30 years experience
of supplying engine re-builders puts FAI in a unique position to understand the
needs and satisfy the high standards expected in todays aftermarket when it comes
to engine products.
GASKETS
FAI's key principles of quality, constant range development, attention to detail
and value for money have helped create the best gaskets for a factors business.
Changes to engine design and performance have had a major impact on gasket manufacture
and material specifications. Modern engines with increased heat levels are hard
to seal. Quite simply, FAI offer a comprehensive supply of gaskets and oil seals
to suit the demands of today's aftermarket. As a key supplier of gaskets and oil
seals around the world, FAI has the experience and expertise to provide top quality
right across the range. It is this pedigree that means the FAI brand is genuinely
respected worldwide. FAI are Europe's fastest growing gasket brand and offer a full
programme for European and Japanese passenger cars and light vans.
Head Gaskets,Head Sets, Head Sets with Bolts, Full Sets, Conversion Sets, Valve
Cover Gaskets, Oil Pan/Sump Gaskets, Manifold Gaskets, Oil Seals and Valve Stem
Seals are all included in the gaskets range.
VALVE TRAIN
In addition to gaskets, Marathon also distributes the full range of FAI valve train
products, including engine valves, camshafts, camshaft kits, and followers / lifters.
The engine valve market has increased substantially in recent years due to engine
changes (lighter, hotter), multi-valve engines, dominance of overhead cam plus drive
belt technology, and fuel changes. FAI offer a unique, branded range of original
quality engine valves covering European and Japanese passenger cars and light vans.
STEERING & SUSPENSION
The FAI Steering and Suspension range of over 1200 references, is one of the largest,
most up to date and relevant programmes of its type and includes Tie Rod Ends, Ball
Joints, Wishbones, Link Rods, Bushes, Subframe Mountings, and Steering Couplings.
The range is not just driven by what factories produce - FAI keep close to users
so they can detect rising demand and initiate product development.
FAI now offer inner tie rods for the first time as well as the widest range of bushes
and wishbones for new models such as the latest Renault Megane. The changing nature
of rear suspension parts means that they are becoming a routine replacement and
the range offered for the best-selling Focus, for example, reflects this.
Steering and suspension parts are safety critical and all FAI items are sourced
from factories with internationally recognised quality approvals. The range is supported
by a photo-illustrated catalogue containing OE cross referencing.
