Looking for some Moparts advice for filling a ring groove in a block. A previous owner of a block used an Isky tool o-ringed the block. Now the holes need to be filled with the copper wire (0.040/21-gauge). How do you ensure there is no leak path when the two halves come together? There will be a small gap I’m sure. Anyone have experience with this process and have any advice? Would prefer not to deck the block to remove ring groove.
When you install copper or other alloy O rings make sure to file the butting ends square, it takes a little time to get them right, make sure you place the butt end near/at the closest head bolt hole to the ring's outer diameter...
Personally I'd go with Stainless O rings and a copper head gasket in your case, SCE O Rings makes a nice Stainless O ring kit
