as above really the engine i have is in good condition but at one point in its life has been wire rung someone has then taken the wire out (dont ask me why?) and now it wont seal the gasket properly hence the reason for doing 2 head gaskets in a month

any help would be great cheers

Being a complete 'tard but whats the deal with wire ringing? I've heard plenty of people go on about it but what advantage does it have on your engine (if any)?

dangerous - reyland

Having a small groove machined into the block around each cylinder (prob about 3 to 5mm from the edge)

Then wire is tapped into the groove - similar to mig wire say
that way half the wire is sitting in the groove & half sitting proud of the block face.

When you torque the head down the wire digs into the head gasket and forms a better seal

Simple but effective way of reducing leakage.

If your block has been done in the it will only need re- wireing
