O-Ring Heads

I was wondering if heads can be O-Ringed without having the block O-Ringed? I was looking at TEA site and saw that they off O-Ringing of heads for $175 with 0.041" Stainless wires. I thought that having the block and heads where both needed.

Re: O-Ring Heads

I dont believe you will have to reciever groove the block if you oring the heads but you will have to get specialty head gaskets for orings

Re: O-Ring Heads

Don't have to do both. One or the other. IMO it's better to do the block, but that isn't always the most practical.

Re: O-Ring Heads

I have O-ringed heads with no mod to the block to accept it. Custom copper gasket was needed.
