O-Ringed Block: Head Question The Backround:
I've got a Iron block that has been O-ringed with Stainless Wire, the Diameter of the the 0-ring is 4.220
The Question:
I want to use the a large bore 4.125 head like the new Warhawk Ls1x, Edelbrock Terminators or My ported AFR 225's.
With a 4.125 Copper gasket is .095 to the Stainless O-ring enough material to insure a a proper seal against the copper gasket?
Cliffnotes:
Is .095 Enough Gasket material to seal between the cylinder and the O-ring.

the answer is maybe. Are the heads going to be cut with a reciever groove ? If so then yes if not then no.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
