If anyone wants to get their sleeve O-ringed, I know a quality shop in AZ that is familiar with that mod. They do lots of EXs and I trust their work.

The only caveat about O-ringing is that it makes the head installation a little tricky. Get it wrong and you're better off not having done it at all.

whats the advantage of the o-ring over a gasket? just a bump in compression? strength?




but, im gonna get a local guy to do my motorwork, i dont feel like sending it off anywhere
