So I just bought a built 2.3 Stroker bottom end. The block surface was O-ringed with copper O-rings. The block was used before so it has been mated to a head before. I have my own built head that I want to put on this block. My questions are, will these O-rings need to be redone before I slap a head gasket and my head on it? Or should they be ok to reuse? What head gasket will I need to use? My head does not have receiving grooves machined into it, will it need to be? I really have no idea how this O-ringed situation works .
Would it be easier or cheaper just to have a machine shop deck the block head back to flat, and not use O-rings? Any advice or info is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.
