Thanks George! Question, in the case of hi-compression etc you mentioned a flycut groove for a copper ring to set into. is that grooved in the block, the head, or both? How deep is it? Where to source that ring or do u make it and what about the butt ends if so? whats the rest of the gasket? it's not a round groove so how is it cut around the perimeter in that odd shape?
In my case engine is stock compression etc, but there was a deep groove where the fire ring ate into the head especially around the exhaust valve corner. Plus it was pretty warped. I dont know how much I took off but it had to be .010" and prob a little more. How much would this increase compression?
sorry for lotta questions but hey, someone may read this and be souping up their kohler!
