I remember in the 90's reading about them being done on big boost Cossies but haven't heard of it on here at all so I assume head gaskets have moved on a lot since then.

head gaskets...head studs...block assembly, tuning....they all have a role.

it isnt to say some ring systems may not have their place...but again we need some background to this very vague comment.

It may do...it depends what you're comparing it to and who has done the work...and whether the engine needs it or not.

Shops tell lots of stories to sell things.

But you're giving so little detail, it's impossible to give an answer
