Earlier someone asked about deformation of an aluminum head with the "wire
ring" Fel Pro gaskets. That is the down side. If the gasket has a steel
wire encapsulated there is a little brinnelling and I find it necessary to
remove .003 to .005 for a perfect surface each season on my aluminum head.
I have never tried to not do that. My little 4 banger is at 17:1 and I take
no chances. I'm also real carefull for detonation. (I do like that ERC
rocket fuel)
Fel Pro also has the same type of gasket with a copper wire that provides no
brinnelling but also less unit load for sealing. We make our choice and
takes our chances.
And NO, guys, I don't miss work a bit.
