oem head gaskets

[uzusi]

when you are expecting to turn up the boost to 20psi, would it be safe to run a oem headgasket with the exception of having headstuds. i ask this becuse i cant find any aftermarket metal headgaskets for my application
thanx

no it is putting a ring of copper around the cylinder that will help sealing!

here is a 944 block I o-ringed

the machine shop cuts the deck with a special cutter

i make the o-rings myself

.061" stainless wire for OE compostion gaskets

copper armature wire for metal gaskets 22-28ga. depending on how much crush i want

sorry the pics a little fuzzy

Here's a clearer pic of my block, o-ring groove (no ring in there yet).
