Why have a discussion on fire rings on heads with 10 fasteners when big power racers have already determined that they do not work well on blocks and heads with 10 bolts or studs.

Gas rings from companies like Helicoflex work well.

I personally have bought many helicoflex sealing rings over the 14 years I was in research. The technology has been out there forever.
