We have a tool that cuts a groove in the block around the cylinder and
then a small copper ring is placed in the groove. It is taller than
the groove is deep so that when the head is tightened down it
"crushes" the copper ring and gives a better seal. I would imagine
that these heads will be scarce for some time just because they work
well and the only way I see a pair being available on the used market
is an accident where the engine block is damaged. (could happen I am
watching)
