650 to 1000 ??? Thais 1/2 to 2/3 of my whole engine. I'm hoping those are the gas ported spacers & not what appeared to be a roll of .016 shim stock. Mine is just a cast flattop 2bbl 351C that so far struggles to 6K. (1.21 2bbl) I was just hoping to get a little thinner ring like my bracket motor had.. (1/16 file fit vs 5/64 non-file) The bracket motor would leak around 8%, the 351C I can hear leaking , @ around 35%.

Edit: But what about leaks like crap & runs the same ?
