Mr. Gasket’s MLS Head Gaskets Now Include Lifetime Warranty

CC | June 16, 2011

A new, improved design for the MLS Head Gaskets comes with a one-of-a-kind quality guarantee

Prestolite Performance, a performance auto parts manufacturer of brands including Mr. Gasket, ACCEL, Hays, Lakewood and Mallory Ignition, is offering a lifetime warranty for the Multi-Layered Steel (MLS) Head Gaskets by Mr. Gasket.

With the MLS Head Gaskets’ enhanced features, Prestolite Performance showcases its confidence in their product’s capabilities with a new lifetime warranty, which covers the cost for defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty applies to all MLS Head Gaskets by Mr. Gasket purchased on or after Jan. 1, 2011. The manufacturer is the only company in the industry to offer such a warranty for its MLS Head Gaskets.

“This product strengthens our position as the top gasket manufacturer in the world,” said Scott Stutler, brand manager for Mr. Gasket at Prestolite Performance. “Mr. Gasket’s decades-long history of offering top quality, innovative products is reinforced with this MLS Head Gasket guarantee. We fully support the functional integrity of our products and this lifetime guarantee is proof of that.”

Unlike generic MLS head gaskets, this product is designed for extreme conditions and high-performance activity. Using the highest grade of raw materials and unique production processes, the Mr. Gasket MLS Head Gaskets are formed specially to optimize performance for the daily driver to the hard core racing enthusiast.

Enhanced features include:

Highest Grade Raw Materials and Production – utilizes the best raw materials while individually forming each layer using a state-of-the-art in-line laser cutting process, providing the industry’s best seal. This prevents rippling users commonly see after the layers are riveted together.
Optimized Embossing Formation – embossing process optimizes the radius of the head gasket’s bend areas for less risk of cracking, leading to reduction in stress points, improved conformability and a competitive wet-out (contact area).
Stress Stabilization and Relaxation – uses a proprietary tempering process that reduces forming-induced stresses, providing less hardness and brittleness, additional flexibility and deformation retention.
Proprietary Coating Technologies – provides 100 percent encapsulation of all exposed metal. These coated layers are designed for extreme temperature and chemical resistance.

“We are excited to provide the only lifetime warranty on head gaskets in the market,” said Stutler. “We use the proprietary technology and manufacturing process that provides unmatched torque retention and sealing capability, both of which help hold its shape even after heat cycles and prevent the gasket from creeping down.”

The Mr. Gasket MLS Head Gaskets are currently available in all of Prestolite Performance’s distribution channels. To find a local dealer, visit www.mr-gasket.com/FindaDealer.aspx.
