So I put the thicker headgasket in my 617 engine, but I can't find any prechamber sealing rings that are thinner than the stock 2.0mm. I would like to put in a thinner sealing ring to get the prechamber back to its stock hight in relation to the piston. I asked a company for a quote to make a thinner sealing ring, and they wanted $20/each!! That seems a bit on the steep side for a sealing ring. Does anyone know where to get a thinner ring, or have the ability to machine a set to about 1.15mm thick? They seem to be really soft aluminum.
Thanks in advance!

Thought about doing that, but I am pretty sure they would get distorted and or uneven during the process. I have an old one laying around, it is really easy to bend it by hand. Plus, like you said, a lot of work. LOL
Thanks for the offer 300D50, but I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and send off for the custom ones. I cant think of any better ideas for making stock ones the needed thickness without messing them up. Should have them in about a month or so.

I'll be honest, I'm a little worried about that as well.

Biohazard and I decided to try it anyways, and hope the surfaces involved are parallel enough to work.
The idea is to torque them in stages, up to the FSM's specified value.

If that copper sealer works good for the head gasket should be ok .I used high temp. silicone . Is the prechambers going be be drilled at exit holes,at least to 85 specs.Sure worked well for me. Prechambers, not hard to drill ,did by hand.

Didn't have a chance to work on this on Saturday. Just about finished the adapter to pull the prechambers tonight though. Need to make one more groove for clearance and then it should be ready.
