So you’ve built a new engine, and it’s time to install it in the car. Nobody wants to deal with the hassle of trying to seal up the exhaust so that there are no leaks on a fresh bullet–that’s where these new dead-soft aluminum gaskets from the gasket wizards at Mr. Gasket come into the picture.

Official Release:

Mr. Gasket, a performance automotive parts and accessories manufacturer celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, today announced the availability of its new “Dead Soft” Aluminum Exhaust and Collector Gaskets for a variety of Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Pontiac and AMC applications. Each of the aluminum gaskets are engineered to provide superior sealing capability, high heat resistance and easy installation. Made from “dead soft” aluminum layer’s , they can compress to half their original thickness – from .125-inches to .060-inches – creating a tight, leak-proof seal that conforms to exhaust mounting surfaces with surface irregularities and warpage. Unlike other products on the market, Mr. Gasket’s “Dead Soft” Aluminum Exhaust Gaskets incorporate slotted bolt holes at the end of each gasket, allowing the gasket to be installed without removing the header flange or exhaust manifold from the cylinder head. As a result of the incredibly tight seal these gaskets afford, Mr. Gasket’s “Dead Soft” Aluminum Exhaust Gaskets are guaranteed against shrinkage, blowout and deterioration for the lifetime of the engine. Each gasket set is precision engineered with special tolerance mounting bolt holes that align the gasket for optimum placement on cylinder head exhaust ports and require no adjustment.

Features:

• Slotted mounting bolt end holes allow easy installation without removing header flanges or exhaust manifolds
• Made from .125-inch “dead soft” aluminum layers that compresses 50-percent
• Conforms to and seals imperfections on header flanges and exhaust manifolds
• Lifetime guarantee not to shrink, deteriorate or blowout
