Hey Dave,
That sounds like an idea! I'll give it a shot.
Thanks,

What I do is remove the metal rings(carefully) around the 1000 gaskets
pushrod holes.Then assembly the top end in the usual matter.Be sure to
use a
gasket sealer such as permatex super 300.Not too much.Torque the heads
in
the proper pattern at 5lbs at a time to 32lbs.Let it sit for a day.Then
after 40 or 50 easy miles and 4 0r 5 complete heat up cool down
cycles,retorque the heads.Do this again at 200 mi. Others may have
different
opinions on this but I have done three 949cc Eldos.this way with no
problems. Dave
