Sorry for so many questions lately guys, in the final stages of building my lmm here in Australia, and just making sure everything will be sweet so i don't run in to many issues.
so i have spent a fair bit searching around and reading about O-ringing the block but can't find much info at what power level it should be done.
a few people have suggested that i should. and then have seen some posts saying its not needed till around 900HP
So currently going to be looking at running 750-800 hp single turbo from mark, on either genuine mahle, or wave stopper head gaskets with 625+ head studs.
possibly in a few years time like many years down the track might look at putting another turbo over that one. when ever (if i ever put another turbo in) it wont see no more then 900hp, due to the drive line this combo is in wont be able to handle it.
i feel like i don't need to O-ring but would like to hear other peoples opinion on this.
if we do need to O-ring i wouldn't mind hearing the details on what needs to be done, dimensions ect
