O-Rings for honda blocks?
I'm wondering if I could do this to my block. I can't seem to find anyone that makes a kit for a D series. I heard Jeff saying something about making his own? Out of? Process? Anyway, if you got any information, POST UP!!

Re:O-Rings for honda blocks?
Basically you have the block (sleeves) O-ringed, any performance machine shop can do this, they cut a slight groove in the sleeve (around), and this is where you place the O-ring. The O-ring is made out of copper wire, you just shape it to fit inside of the groove. If I were you just have Golden Eagle do your block. They have all the tools, and a nice little "how to guide" and supply the wire when you get your block done.

Re:O-Rings for honda blocks?
how much will that golden eagle job cost?
everyone told me you had to get the block o-ringed to have a copper head gasket, but you don't. when I overheated the b16a I pulled off the head and the gasket was copper but I have no o-rings.

I was at his shop today and got a glimps at the coper orings, they just look like a soft coper. and all that there is, a little groove in the sleeves and he has the coper "o ring" sitting in it, but its not a complete circle(well it is, but it has a little cut in it, because yo uhave to cut it to size.), looks like he made it out of a strait peice of coper, i didint ask to many questions about it, hopefully he will clear them all up.
