bansheefromhell Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 http://bit.ly/1exauMH Just seen this on eBay, what's the point of the orings and how could you still use the OEM gasket? It's not machined for an otter oring. Yes and I know it's by ray, I'm not buying it just never heard or seen this before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 People used to o-ring them like you would a car engine to keep it sealed up. Especially stock cyls with 68+ big bore stuff. I had a motor done like that it worked, but was quite the cost to have the head and the jugs grooved for it. 1 Quote

Mine was gass filled metal o rings grooved in the cylinder and head with permatex. Then I moved to a copper gasket with the O Ring. I have also seen one that was just grooved on the head to take rubber o rings around the combustion chamber and permatex around the water jackets. Even seen stockers grooved entirely to take all the same O rings as a cool head. All that's old tech though Quote
