AAah, sorry, I was being thick due to different trerminology to what I use!

Yeah, a wire ringed will be FINE with a normal head gasket, infact should be more effective than with a copper HG!

What I was talking about was Coopers Rings, which are seperate firing rings machined in to the block, much more complex, and a complete pain.

Ive had wire ringed blocks on a few cars, always worked well.
