Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1052502, member: 578"] Fire ring would be the answer there and the added machining, gasket and their cost that come with it. To me if I was having my engine rebuilt and I was going with perf setup ( something over say a 38R) to me I could not see not having fire ring added to the list of things done. But there are plenty of people that beat the crap out of there new rebuilds with OEM gaskets that did not have an issue (not speaking of compound setups) and they held. But you take your chances and to warranty something means you have very good odds backed up by good data that the risk is minimal. So there's a difference. I am not expert but would a HG show pushed out on the side like Jake says his looks like in that pic if it was blow from pressure as opposed from incorrect install or issue with the gasket itself prior to it?
