Ultra Conservative. ULTRA!
I'm trying to learn about the subject title. I've only heard about it and ready very little. It looks like Quadstar has a tool for the job, but I didn't understand until recently what it even was. Is there a downside to this process?
Is there a concern from dissimilar metals in contact with one another, with the copper touching the metal of the block & head? How is galvanic corrosion mitigated with this type of setup? Some use stainless steel for these rings, as I've seen.
Since this is a consideration, is it safe to say that a gasket isn't already made with this type of feature integrated for our particular engines?
Here is a thread where it is discussed, but a search didn't turn up much information on it. Perhaps there are different terms some use for the same idea?
Here is the article I ran across when I was first trying to learn about it a couple months back:
This describes the process in the event someone is unfamiliar like I was (although I am still learning):

Shims or Gaskets
http://innomach.com/faq.htm Hey; any comments on this approach to reducing compression? Any way to O-ring with these?

Get Into The Groove: Contain Combustion With O-Rings Or Fire Rings
When power-adders raise combustion pressures to extreme levels, engine builders may turn to a little help from O-rings or fire-rings.
