You know we do, and Rob Raymer was going through Cometics like underwear until he got his o-ringed, the key is to get the wire the correct diameter on the bore and the right distance sticking out, and run the GM graphite gasket, MLS will not work. Hope this helps. BTW, got those heads yet?

Tooley,

Do you all o-ring the block or the head? And do you all use a receiver groove on the accepting side?

Also I do not kow if it is trade secret, but my oring protrudes .010 and was wonderin g what you thought. Should it be more or less?
