? about Weber Racing o-ring'ing

[TurboTR]

Can anyone here detail what Weber does when they o-ring a competition shortblock? Specifically, do they use a 1007 lock-wire gasket with receiver grooves in the head, along with a custom o-ring in the block? Or is it custom o-rings in the block and the head with a different gasket? And if so which gasket? I'm trying to help a guy decide how he wants them to finish out his stock block stroker engine TIA!

Dave Weber cuts an o ring grove into the heads installs stainless steel wire using stock head gaskets. hth.

A picture of the head can be seen here. This was o-ringed at Weber Racing. This configuration is currently in use with stock Victor graphite head gaskets.

Thanks guys. Has anyone here tried the new ICS copper head gaskets?

PS the engine in question is a stroker TSM comp mill. ~ a max effort.

I'm putting them on my motor. Its getting assembled now. They look like good design. Hope they seal the water well. I'll post after its running.
