3.6 question

[Jeff Alton]

Can early 3.6 heads and cyliners be modified for the sealing ring or do I have to get new cylinders?? Also, who would you recomend for this service on the west coast?

thanks, Jeff

I can't find it now but I remember seeing a post where someone did a mod to add an O-ring (there was a picture). I think it involved removing material from the outside of the cylinder to sandwich an O-ring between the outside of the cylinder and the head.

I was leary about removing more material from an already skinny cylinder sealing surface so I went with the later cylinders (good used) and updated the heads.
