PermaTorqueMLS gaskets.

Newman's #12 Dodge Intrepid, which features an R7/P5 "open deck" engine
sealed by PermaTorqueMLS multi-layer steel head gaskets, has claimed all eight
Winston Cup victories for the Dodge brand this year.
"The Gaskets Professionals Trust," Fel-Pro gaskets are manufactured and
marketed by Federal-Mogul Corporation.
"Professionals in every form of motorsports and in the automotive engine
building business choose Fel-Pro because they understand that only the best
technologies guarantee a perfect seal," said Fel-Pro Marketing Director
Raymond King. "The growing presence of PermaTorqueMLS gaskets among NASCAR
teams is proof that Fel-Pro is up to the demands of today's newest engine
technologies."
Featuring four stainless steel layers, PermaTorqueMLS gaskets allow for
lateral and vertical motion of the cylinder head without compromising sealing
performance. Each gasket also includes a welded "stopper" combustion seal and
fully embossed secondary seal to ensure leak-free performance at maximum rpms
and water temperatures. Select PermaTorqueMLS gaskets feature a special
aftermarket coating to seal surface finishes as rough as 60 Ra.
"Ours is a very powerful and demanding engine, but Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS
head gaskets have given us perfect performance in testing and on the
racetrack," said Scott Corriher, president of Penske Jasper Engines, builder
of Newman's Dodge engine.
Among other leading Winston Cup organizations relying on PermaTorqueMLS
gaskets is Dale Earnhardt Inc., which campaigns Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s #8
Chevrolet, the #15 Chevrolet driven by Michael Waltrip and the #1 Chevrolet
piloted by John Andretti. "We continue to push the limits of sealing
technologies as our engines become more efficient and powerful," said DEI
Chief Engine Builder Richie Gilmore. "PermaTorqueMLS gaskets from Fel-Pro
have stood up to every challenge."
