If you really want to bump compression mill the head a few thou and run the standard three layer HG, seals better and leave you with a much more reliable set up.

forget milling the head. that would be the last thing I did for compression. The closer the pistons and valves come together the more chance you have of interference between them. if you have the head off and you want higher compression just get some valves or pistons or something. besides, you won't build that much more compression by getting a thinner gasket alone.

yeah because adding a bigger domed pistons doesn't change internal clearances... hahahah wtf...

x2... every time I use thinner head gaskets or 2 layers... I always run into sealing issues sometime down the road...

hhaahha for real everyone thinks getting a big ass dome piston will give u 200 hp automatically, ive personally seen much retards spent money and just put CTR pistons in LS's and claim 200hp because there compression is higher than that of a type-r:lmfao: than they end up with a wimpy 140 and are like how come im not close to 200:lmfao:
