  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Ford Boss 429 engines were "dry deck" engines, with aluminum heads. They used rubber derived O-rings to seal water and oil passages off, and special copper O-rings to seal the compression, but the most effective seal was done by very nice machine work on the block and head decks.

    Too bad someone doesn't have a water jet machine, cutting copper head gaskets on one of those would be very easy once the program was dialed in.

    Regards,

    Well I do everything!

    I'm a Process Operator at plant but my electrical, auto mechanic, forestry technolist, scaffolder and Construction Safety officer experience makes me a very important person at our plant of 16 employees!
