I've seen aftermarket kits to convert from o-ring to band type clamps. Anyone have any experience with this? There may be a thread on this already, I haven't looked yet.
you will have to convert to the band type intake seals - the kit comes with a plastic ring that fills that hole from the broken o ring port - we do this mod all the time it works well if your not removing the head for work , and if ever you do, you can have have it welded and fixed till than the kit mod works just fine - be sure to do the front and the rear the same what you do to one do to the other -- johnjzjz
