WOW!

I really like those O rings. Do you just place them there and when you torque the head down it cuts into the aluminum?

Also Ive read in the past that Warhawk heads were porous and people had issues with them. Has this been fixed?

At least 2500 hp, i will put it on the dyno later this year.
It has to weight 2670 lbs in my class. I think it weights under 2500 lbs so i have to add some weights.
