i have a head o-ring's cut in ,,, just wondering if there is a place in calgary

 

I got my o-rings done at ct performance in rimbey. Great service there.

 

i didn't really want to drive that far

 

You want to get a 12v or 24v head cut? Good luck, real hard to find anyone locally. I knew someone from Balzac area did orings, but I would have to do a check see. I wanted to buy the tool to cut the head, but its pricey. Swamp donkey has a tool to cut the block to install o-rings. I think Tate had his done in edmonton, Nisku area.

Do You know what/how you want the orings cut? What diameter size of wire and oring placement? I think most use 39 to 41 thou wire and protrusion is 9-12 thou. I like more protrusion and using the thicker wire for better sealing. What grade of head studs you going with? Most of my orings bite into the inner wire of the head gasket (fire ring)

 

12v
and what the tool worth to cut them ?
and not sure on size

 

Here the sweet tool....

Its pricey, $2400 USD, but thats was last years price

 

So...If you do find someone to do it...What would be the cost to do a head??

 

oh mike that cutter is swanky......me likey.

the Isky cutter swamp donkey used on his block was a borrowed unit from someone up there. I asked him about that before. and the isky cutter only does the engine block IIRC.

 

Yup, it was borrowed. I have not fired the engine and hit it with any boost to even see if the o-ringing did its job!

 

well i have two i want to do this year ,,, anyone else looking to do any this year ? i will buy the tool if a few people want them done and that would help pay for the tool

 

My 12v head is currently getting the orings done in Vancouver. I could be interested in getting my VP 24v head done as well as my 6.7L at some point.

 

Fast Freddy and Jason (doj dewd), will be needing orings shortly as well as studs. There is a need.

 

So there would be a demand out there...Seems that CT is the only company in Alberta that has this tool...

 

I think that would be money well spent. You could probably pay for that in a few jobs if your not giving a buddy rate.

 

well i will give a buddy rate , but i would still want to make the money to pay for the tool
