I just talked with my machinist about that yesterday. His opinion is if you are running studs not to worry about it. He said he has pulled a lot of fire rings out because of leaking. I do run them on my race car and haven't had a problem with them. I'm not going to do them on mine. Up to you though Gabe. Good to see ya.

Thanks for your input Darin. I haven’t heard of any one doing them on these trucks until today. I didn’t think it would be necessary for what I will be doing with my truck. It sounds like a pain to line every thing up with the motor in the truck.

I read a magazine article where the heads were ringed, but was Super Duty and cab off. Diesel World or Power had it.
My thoughts if you are going ***** out, it makes sense. 450rwhp area does not seem to make sense.
But what do I know.

From my understanding fire ringing is for engines that didn't come with to many head bolts/studs from the factory and that fire ringing is to take the pressure of nitrous, boost and what not or am I wrong?
