Hi Otis when you say sealing ring?? the 1973 heads have got a sleeved inlet stub with a rubber cover that sits over it in the cylinder head secured by a pressed steel plate is this the type you are talking about, now just out of curiosity what bike is this on ???

Hi maurice this is on a 1973 3c. Have got the pressed steel plate of with a little bit of prying and used some RTV in place of the rubber seal at this stage. Cheers

Dont muck around with silicon just replace the rubbers when you can get them.
I may have a set here if that helps I have a couple of early triples with these manifolds and I put a small amount of three bond on the rubbers when I installed them, they are not the ideal inlets as the pressed plates bow as the small my 6 nuts that secure them are generally over tightened to the point that the plate bowes.
I have to ask is your bike a disc brake or drummer what number is she??
 
Hi maurice thanks for the offer will keep that in mind.No not a drummer unfortuantly number 1511 late 73 1510 is on the laverdamania site as a 73,
