Maybe an other head producer in the game.

Believe what you want. It’s a small market.
How many RItter blocks you figure have been sold in the what, 10 or so years they have been around?

The potential market is huge if you are the only supplier. Like I said, Chrysler guys are so cheap they will live with compromised ring seal, marginally sealed head gaskets, bearings getting strange wear patterns because the block is flexing like a folding chair.

Interesting is I heard last night that one of the dyno’s I know of has purchased an analog blow by meter. That little truth detector will show how well the rings are sealed under a load.

I figure some guys are going to be singing the blues when they see their rings aren’t sealing like they should even though the builder used torque plates, used a profilometer to get the surface just right and the owner spent a crazy amount on rings.
