I guess I forgotten you didnt have orings in the heads. Any thoughts about changing that?
Have you pulled the pan or cut the oil filter open?

I was looking at these inserts. I'd also like to add thread inserts on the exhaust bolt holes.

Yes, I'm seriously looking at O-rings and dry deck. I haven't taked the pan off yet, the oil filter new, I believe it was replaced after the last dyno session.
