If you have an o-ringed block, and no receiver grooves in the heads, that's your problem right there. Because of the exposed wire, your heads will be lifted up from the deck. You need receiver grooves with o-rings.


Not completely true...That is why I asked how tall the o-ring stands. Higher end Fel-Pros have an o-ring integrated into the gasket (fire ring) and they don't critically bridge the head from the block.




Agreed. My copper gasket does not leak with no receiver groves in the head. I believe the o-ring should stick up about .010".
