Head Gasket Question
 
So the head is off of my truck, my original plan was to get the head o ringed, but i cant find anyone near me that can do it, I have a 20 over marine head gasket, arp head studs, plan on getting the head milled flat, My question is how much can that setup take? With not doing the o rings.

Don't know, but everyone I know who mills heads flat can also o-ring them, so that sounds a little odd.

The jig to o-ring the heads are quiet high. So only places that will have stiff do do that is big time machine shops that do a lot of high performance engines
