If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

With that small of a bore I would not do it unless you are going to add some NOS. If you do, go back with a copper head gasket.

I think Cope racing recommends it with high compression pistons. If you do o-ring them then you need to use a copper head gasket that has the o-ring groove too.

You want to use a coppoer head gasket that DOES NOT have an o'ring groove in it. The wire makes its own groove.

Ah, so that's how they get the groove in the copper head gasket.

Yes. The wire bites into the gasket, and that is what makes it seal. The gasket can be reused if need be. It needs to be anealed, then put back on upside down so the wire can bite into the other side.
