Champion ported/polish heads

[Blacky]

Back in the late '90s we put a ring in the head. Hold the stock gasket together better. Has anybody ever tried to mill that ring out of the head?

I have not done it but I know a lot of people have.

Any of those people that have dealt with this issue, can you chime in

I have read where people put a copper wire in instead of steel, and the copper deforms and fills in the groove to run stock gaskets. I am not recommending this and have not done it myself, but worth researching.

Weld it up and mill it off. I would imagine that ray would do it.
