Question about o-ringing my block and using copper gaskets. Also are hellfire rings..
I am going to shoot a 250 shot on my motor and I am going to have the engine builder O-ring my 4.030 bore LT1 block. Does the block have to be surfaced a certain way when using copper gaskets?
Also is there anything I need to know or do when installing these type of gaskets with my O-ringed block? Is O-ringing the block enough or should I do the heads as well? What brand/model number copper gasket do you recommend?
Also, my car made 403rwhp through a m6 and 9" rear end. When I add the 250 shot of nitrous, will hellfire rings be necessary?

By the way I meant to say I was pulling the motor anyways because I want to 4 bolt splay the mains cause I never did it when I first rebuilt my motor.
Also if you still don't think I will need the o-ring/copper gaskets is there anything special I need to know about the MLF gaskets? Thanks for the help.

Awesome, but I got one more question. I still don't know if I need to put a copper spray or anything on the cometic gaskets. I hear of people doing it and then I hear people saying not to do it because the manufacture says not to? What did you guys do?
