does anyone know of a company that sells gasket kits for "O-ringing" the head NOT fire ringing it. i have searched all over the internet and even posted in the section for quotes from businesses and still can't find a business that sells them. i need to order my gaskets so i can get my engine back together asap!

 

You use a regular head gasket thats why.

 

2x on that

 

o rings are metal wires that are machined into your head and prodrude just a bit. they clamp down on the factory fire ring.

x3 on the factory gasket

 

unless your head was decked and it should of been you will need a .10 or .20 over depending how much they took off
