Bobtail,
Double funny since I already have a set of those and they
will go on an engine (for the square :-)). Luckily I have a friend doing the same and he is a porsche tuning machinist. I will not eleborate on that subject any more since the thread I started last time about that subject, it was not very succesfull/pleasant...(they had to close it....)
One more idea I thought of today for sealing 103's: using chr/moly head studs. They are not only stronger but also stretch less when warming up. Therefore as the steel cylinder expands probably more than the chr/moly stud, the force pressing the head sealing surface and the cylinder surface together will increase with more heat. As long as your studs don't break, that might be a good thing for sealing purposes...or am I wrong here?
I hope its outside of the box enough for you...
Greetings,
Walter
