On my application , which will be blown street motor not seeing more than 15psi, any benefits/disadvantages in going to the largest stud size? final Bore size will be 4.310 to keep some meat between cylinders for better long term gasket sealing,. would you o-ring a street motor? or just good composite gasket? help appreciated -------------------------------- Darren Beale Keith Black Racing Engines®
