- Ken and I tried of-rings, it didn't work. An o-ring needs a grove to remain stable, just squeezing them between the head and block tended to turn them into figure eights. We have had good luck with

- The key to success is getting the right type of Cometic gasket; there is a bewildering array of materials, finishes, and designs-- some even have gasfilled embossed rings. Of course the surface fini

- Briefly, the fluid seal on the copper gasket is a band aid, like "print o seal" on composite gaskets. The combustion seal on the ics titan looks to me to be some what forgiving relative to surface fi

- It's easy to see how a bead of silicone with tons of pressure squeezing it to '001" thick is not a very resilient seal . Some combination of o-rings has to be the answer . The Hilborn jet cage o-ring
