Orings typically cost $50/hole. The problem is finding someone close with the correct plate that bolts to your head or block for the cutting. You may want to consider an aftermarket head that's already oringed and ported. Then you could swap heads and be done.

Also need to check to make sure the head is flat...and have it checked for cracks. Piers always said that there will be cracks..it just depends on how many and how bad they are.
That would be the first thing that I could do..is have it check for cracks. Not good to spend the money on O ring and then find out the head is bad...

Well..... ARP is still in production with them. Hopefully they will arrive in the next 4 weeks. The clamping force should be quite a bit higher so there will be better integrity.
As for the holding limit, it has to do with cylinder pressure more than boost pressure. When we alter timing, nitrous, propane, water/meth, all of these change cylinder pressures as well as boost. These studs are designed to give the clmping load of 14mm studs without the detrimental effects of removong block material and reduce the cost associated with it.
