what about the rings working on the aluminum head causing the head develop wear marks ?? Similar to the old head gaskets with steel o ring in them.

Yes you will get some of that.
We found if you put the heads back in the same place it was not an issue.

When running alum heads with kimetic gaskets the web in the head between the center two cylinders gets hot enough to anneal the alum and then the ribs in the head gasket presses grooves in the web. When running your new rings how deep can the grooves be before it will not seal? Or do the rings disperse the heat away from the web fast enough that the alum is not annealed?
