charlie i was told that it takes 3 to6 hrs to set up and cut 6 grooves in a milling machine does that sound about right to you, if it is buying to tool myself would problably be cheaper,no local shop has a 0-ring tool.

You can also do the job yourself with the Isky tool. http://www.iskycams.com/pdfcatalog/2004-05/page16.pdf |

Several of the racers have done this. I think the Drakes, Hambys, Cameron Tilley, Coxes, etc have done it on NA, boost, and N2O motors. Cameron Tilley has o-rings on his turbo motor (up to 22lbs boost and 720HP) - just the block, IIRC. Tilley has put o-rings on that just hit the fire ring on a nice Aussie composite gasket, which he says works well over 12:1 comp. I think his turbo motor has the copper gasket, though. Lou |

I had my 170 turbo block is "O"-ringed. But that was about 20 years ago. A race machine shop did the work, and I don't remember the specs. I do remember the wire is stainless steel. It has never been replaced. I am now using the Cox Bros copper gasket. |

That time does not seem unreasonable to me. If you are only going to do one block, it might be better to rent the Isky "groove-o-matic" for $60. I did not see a Purchase price listed on that page. |

$590 Retail, only $295!  I suppose $300 Bucks isn't bad. http://www.iskycams.com/partnum_templat ... 16&go.y=11 CJ |
