My block is o-ringed, receiver groove in heads.

 

I just have the block o ringed on mine and it works good also

 

The heads on mine are o-ringed and the block with the receiver. Using Clark gaskets. No problems. They claimed if I was to do anything to the block down the road, (bore, deck) it would be easier with the receiver groove in the block.

 

O-ring in block only on my own, but I got the sleeves hanging outta the block a good bit.

 

Thanks guys for the input.

 

On fuel motors when i used to work on them we would O-ring the heads and Receiver grooves in the block , same thing on my 1,700 hp Big block .
works great so far .

 

Current practice is to put the wire in the heads. Putting it in the block tends to roll over the edges of the receiver groove in aluminum heads. Copper gaskets have been successfully used without wire or grooves.

 

we run o rings on both sides with the sleeves also sticking up, all staggered of course

 

I have o ringed block no receiver grooves sce gaskets works fine so far 60 passes

 

So I'm doing a figure 8 wire in the heads and receiver grooves in the block. Thanks again for the input.

 

has anyone here ever used/done a thick/.250" copper shim gasket with o ring groves cut into it on both sides of it, any issues?...

found a bit of info but would like to find more, O ringing head gasket...
http://www.headgasket.com/faq.html

looking to do another 456ci RPM W short block with pistons .200" out of hole with shim gasket and wondered with this thick of copper shim if O ringing it instead would be the way to go.

 

is this for your dream race car????? fuck head..

 

fuck off goof, kill your self

 

you'd like that hey cum dumpster

its more fun waiting for cock squesers like you to reply dreaming about building/owning a race car..
you never learn do you

prolly not enough deck thickness to cut oring grooves in the chinese marsh mellow block anyway..:smt068

 

For a drag car it makes more sense to o ring the block and groove the heads if you hurt the gasket you can mill and groove the head the o ring in the head is alot more work to fix and either will seal the same .

 

you retarded crybaby bitch aussi's like yourself that live your useless lives on this site worrying about what Others have all the time should really go a put a bullet in your own heads and be done with it.

then you wouldint have to moan like a little bitch so much about owning a real engine instead of jerking off with a fucking flathead asswipe.

 

dont like americian made stuff mate????

 

Have o-ringed the block for years with copper gaskets. Have never used receiver groves in heads.

 

drag queen, I buy/spend my money with Americans you aussi asswipe so kill your self.

I just found out about the ICS gasket, anyone here know if I can get these in a custom .250" thickness???

http://www.goodvibesracing.com/ics_headgasket_tech.htm

some interesting reading here...

anyone here sell the ICS gasket???

 

It's only as thick as .093 for the thickest gasket they offer.

Copper comes in a wide range of thickness choices; (from .021” to .093” in roughly ten thousandths increments) providing the options necessary to optimize piston to valve, piston to head and, in wedge combustion chambers, piston to quench area

 

I seen that posted also, I was hoping someone here that sells these could tell me if it can be ordered in a custom .250" thickness like some of the other copper gasket company versions.

seen Flatout has some rubber coat ones now also, kind of like the O ring idea though...

No expert, but I want the o-ring in iron, just makes more sense to me, then putting it in softer aluminum??



.

 

Ass backwards. Look at where they place them in nitro engines and then think. The heads always move more than the block, so the o-ring needs to go in the head. You'll never find them in the block for that reason on a nitro engine or the vast majority of alky engines.
Best is wire on both top and bottom if you have severe detonation problems and lose gasket seal.

 

but add said the O ring is stainless steel?.

anyone here know anythng about the rubber coating on the Flatout copper shim gaskets?...

Block......I did heads once,nothing but a headake

 

O ring in the head and receiver groove in the sleeve/ block.

Again, no expert, I was always taught block, receiver grove head, and it still makes sense to me??
I've never heard you want the wire to move around??
I do admit, I switched to Cometics 5 years ago, and have no intention of going back??
