...well... having read through all the messages on oringing im realy intregued, ie. can someone explain what exactly it is? i understand that its some kickass method of preventing head gaskets from blowing, but reading all about the spacing and stainless/copper orings and all the other stuff has got me quite interested.

can someone please explain!!!
thanks!! Smile

Basically, it's so the head and block can 'bite' into the gasket. They machine a groove into the head/block and insert a copper(I think) 'ring' so that it sits proud of the head surface fractionally.

That's right, aint it?
