I dropped by the world products booth at PRI this year and immediately thought of you hehe -- they had a nice, trick stand showing off an exploded view long block 454 ci lsx motor...
I'd read some strangeness about having to spread silicon all over the water jacket rings to get it to seal (and the guy said it was in the instructions -- but was also for a 7 second n2o car). I didn't get why that would be necessary with o-rings and I guess it isn't.

Do you guys have any opinions on the Cometic Phuzion gaskets? They have a similar stainless 0-ring around the cylinders. I think they are also between $200-300.

The info is over on Tech in the FI section I think. I'd find some links but, I gotta go. Do some searching in that section under the username 427 (Kurt's username).
