The permatorque gasket is a multi layer gasket just like the mitsu metal's but, mitsu metal's weren't made for 2.4lt guys. I had a commetic HP in my car (when I had my 2.4) with a 61 on it and blew the shit out of the gasket many time's. The other reason why thing's are so much better now are the head stud's are holding that head down much better then the standard old arp's ever did!
