Default No gaskets?

Is it possible to O-ring everything on an engine that requires a gasket so gaskets are no longer required?

Maybe they did a sh1tty job? It seems like it would be a good idea for people that drag race & take their engines apart alot. I've spent like over $500 on gaskets alone already. There was the cam install, heads, then the rebuild.

well..ask yourself this would you like to work 4 hours to replace a .25 o-ring or pay 25.00 for a gasket and like not have a problem?....o-rings would be nice...like cam changes they makes rubber over steel so you can reuse them same for valve cover

Vfast, do you have to ruin everything? I thought I was onto something here.
