He says the O ring always goes in the head and not the block, reason being is the the sleeve is hard and won’t distort and neither will the head with the ring in it, if you do it the other way what happens is the receiver groove in the aluminum of the head is soft, when the gasket gets stuffed into the edges of the receiver groove takes all the pressure and start to distort causing problems that can’t happen if the groove is in the block



That's correct. I didn't know you wanted wire diameter etc. That guy gave you the straight poop.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
