This is a close up of the tempered stainless wire we put in the oring groove we cut in the block.It works fantastic and does not lose its postiveness once you torque it once it allways stays out and proud.Harder to install but well worth it

Thanks
 

Thanks for the compliment

More to come tommorow

Looks very good Tom ! Good builders go the extra mile, you are going 3 or 4 miles...:thumbsup:

Very Cool...Wayy more interesting than looking at my diesel engine stuff here at work :thumbsup:

You build some awesome engines. I have a gen 1 sbc its a World 454 with a 4.250 in bore Will the oring work on my engine to put a small amount of boost to it or is it too tight with the bores that big?
Thanks Wayne

4.250
 

I beleive its to tight i would not try it.There just isn't enough material in my opinion between the walls to hold a round cyl under boost.Let alone trying to get the gasket to set correctly around the oring in that tight of confines.Sorry to give bad news.
