An o-ringed block is what they use for cars with big horsepower mick.
The machinist machines a groove or recess into the top of the block on every cylinder,then they knock copper o-rings into the grooves.because engines with big boost shit the head gaskets coz the head gasket cant cope with the pressure,so they find the o-rings seal alot better.
