[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 681214, member: 27963"] I am not going to say it is feasible due to space/manufacturing difficulties but I am not so sure that the head gasket would care if it is getting squeezed by the studs and nuts as we know it or being compressed by an external force. If you could assemble the engine and then make a plate that would set evenly on the head nuts and for instance make a plate that would bolt on to the cylinder studs using threaded rod to join the two plates together I am certain you would be transferring some of the stress off of the crumbling cylinder to head threads down to the cylinder to crankcase threads. This would be a quick for instance with a couple of problems, overstressing the cylinder to crankcase threads a real possibility. Whether you could make a bracket from say the cylinder head stay to a radiator mount and push down might be an answer for that. there are quite a few problems with, figuring out and actually trying to manufacture this thing, getting accused of cheating and having to tear down at a tech inspection to prove it is not illegal, and getting laughed at for even listening to this cockamamy idea :eek: . But the only thing you really have to do is clamp the head down even and tight enough for the gasket to seal [/QUOTE]
