I have heard of a head shop that will O-ring my head in Portland however I can't seem to find their name or contact number...

Can anyone help?

The only head shop I can think of is called "Up in Smoke".

I don't get it...

I'd think Yellow Pages under "machine shop" should get you close, no?

Anybody know bout what the cost is for o-rings and studs?

by **90firstgen** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 6:15 pm

The shops I've checked at are usually between 200 and 400 dollars for orings. Plus studs by themselves are about 4 or 500.

Can you do o-rings yourself or does the head have to be machined for them? Seems like I should know this as long as Ive been hitting these sites but...

Yessir. Tim and I were talking about o-rings and Rip.

No you can't O-ring your self unless you have a nice little machine shop in your back yard

and also have to have the head milled flat (this according to rip at sourceauto) and he quoted me 350 for o-rings yesterday. and 435 for ARP studs :shock:

hope this helps

Yup, a bunch. Thanks.

How often does the head need to be milled flat?

Here's a newbie question that I should now; what's the difference between O-rings and fire rings?

by **wingnuts0nr** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:32 pm

well I would say that anytime you O/H the head you should mill it, for better sealing and if you overheat the engine you might want to look at doing it.. and i have the same question as far as the "o-ring" vs "fire ring"
so if i find that out before someone else awnsers, I'll post it.

Basicly, o-rings are grooves cut in the head, a piece of wire is inserted in the groove, and it crimps the head gasket tighter.
Firerings are grooves cut in the block, bigger groove, bigger wire. You need a special head gasket for these.
At least that's the way I under stand it.

By the way, a Head Shop is where you go to get rolling papers, bongs, and other druggie paraphenalia. :shock:

My buddy took me to one once. :wink:
