Standard Head Gaskets on an O-ringed Head?
Can a standard head gasket be used under a head cut for O-ring without any issues? Or do you have to run a loc-wire gasket with them?

Any idea why the heads are o-ringed? Have they been milled a lot?

supposedly for high compression and forced induction. a friend used those, Trickflow said use the lock wire. not sure why, maybe they just want the extra money. he bought his used so i didnt see any proof, just going by what he said. :shurg:

The reason I'm asking the question is that I bought these heads for my 427 project; however, I may slap them on the 302 for the time being. I really didn't feel like paying $120 for a set of loc-wire head gaskets on an N/A 302. |

not sure. try it. :D you wouldnt think the N/A would would be enough to cause any separation problems. which Trickflows are they? if they are going to work with the 427, wont they kill the 302? :shrug:

I'm really just curious as to what it would do on the 302. ;) |

I do not believe you can use them without a o0ring head gasket.
The gap area where the o-ring would seat in would most likely blead off your cylinder pressure. |

:nice: i was wondering why you were putting them on the 302. go ahead and hit that motor with a 250 shot before you pull it out. |
