dry decked aluminum block gasket preference
 

NA combo, most lilkley methanol, do not think I need to step up to the pablakin rings, but will consider, what solid, non copper gaskets are you having success with? 14-15:1

I know it’s not what you asked but my build is getting SCE Copper on my Dry Decked blown deal but my heads and block are O-ringed as well. The static compression is 12.5:1 and with boost it’s gonna be a lot higher...

just spoke with another aluminum block user and he recommended the SCE S gasket, which appears to be copper with sealant around the water jacket holes, sce #829-S28384.

Patented Integral Combustion Seals perform the function of O-ringed blocks and heads without the added machining costs. They also provide extra sealing in high combustion pressure environments where rules prohibit O-ringing. The ICS Titan features stainless steel O-ring wire inserted into the gasket body around the cylinder bore, with combustion pressure forcing the flanges against the head and block for a self-energized secondary seal. Coolant and oil seals also included.

did you get the Marty rings? thanks

Paul K are you an SCE dealer?

No Marty rings...
