Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS Gaskets Dominate Action in NASCAR Siemens 300

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--July 29, 2004--Fel-Pro(R) PermaTorqueMLS(TM) head gaskets - the next-generation sealing solution for many late-model performance and standard automotive engines - captured both the pole position and checkered flag in Sunday's NASCAR Siemens 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. Fel-Pro gaskets, "The Gaskets Professionals Trust," are manufactured and marketed by Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTCBB:FDMLQ).

Kurt Busch's PermaTorqueMLS-equipped Irwin Tools/Sharpie Ford kept pace with pole-winner Ryan Newman - whose ALLTEL Dodge also relies on the latest Fel-Pro sealing breakthrough - before powering to the front in the closing laps of Sunday's race. The win, Busch's second of the year, was the 10th of the 2004 Nextel Cup Series for PermaTorqueMLS technology.

Engineered to ensure a complete, durable seal in spite of extreme temperatures and cylinder pressures, PermaTorqueMLS gaskets are the ideal solution for a growing number of automotive engines.

Each gasket features multiple layers of full-hard stainless steel, precise sealing beads and a proprietary coating that accommodates a wide range of surface finishes. This advanced design also allows for lateral and vertical motion of the cylinder head without compromising sealing performance. Fel-Pro engineers also developed a unique combustion seal to ensure leak-free performance at maximum rpms and water temperatures.

"The Fel-Pro PermaTorqueMLS gaskets used as replacement parts for many late-model domestic and import production engines benefit from our close partnership with leading NASCAR Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck series teams," said Fel-Pro Marketing Manager Ron Rotunno. "Our proven expertise in sealing these ultra-high-output, high-temperature engines translates to superior sealing performance for stock-replacement applications being repaired in thousands of engine shops and service garages across North America."

In addition to Busch, 2004 Nextel Cup winners who have relied on PermaTorqueMLS gaskets are Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, and Elliot Sadler.
