Hi Pascal, unless it's very deep and long enough so it larger than the ring
itself, i would not put nothing there, combustion temperature are so high
that most product will melt.

That ring/head gasket will compress and sould fill the gap, but again, if
not to deep.

removing the metal gasket that goes between the cylinders and the heads, but
not sur as I was really careful when removing them.  Anyway I tried to
remove them with lapping compound and laping them with the cylinders, but no
luck.  Is there a sealant that I can use or maybe JB Weld?  Thanks
