    do you have any idea what one layer of mls head gasket will do to compression ratio.... theres a huge difference between 2 and 3 layer mls....

    a machined space would be like....... 6 to one compression.... after having two gaskets and a hunk of metal inbetween.....


    shit a .035 and a .070 compressed thichness is the difference between something like 8:1 and 9.4:1 on my build....


    to the op..... my two cents is to go 255 fuel pump and a small shot of gas...

    I was referring to a specific sized MLS gasket vs. stacking stock gaskets...which you know someone would attempt lol!

    I'm gonna be running a 0.140" MLS on mine.

    Something can be machined paper thin you know.
