Maybe not good to use in a block for ring seal, but seems like would be good for cylinder heads.

Re: Horsepower or torque, Intake to exhaust flow ratio relevance, Flow specced cams, Are AFR heads the best!!?
You always need your oiler ocilator windshield wipers for better vision the correct muffler bearings to match the better exhaust flow to intake flow ratio of your AFR heads. If you run open headers you wasted extra money on the AFR heads.
