HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
IF I USE A EXTRA THICK GASKET THEN HOW MUCH WILL IT DROP MY COMPRESSION RATIO.
:confused:

Well I am looking into this just incase i use a set of vortecs on a 406 flat top piston . if the head gasket is not enough i think i will probably fly cut 2 of the valve releifs.

I've heard of engine builders using like a 4.200 gasket on a 4.155 bore to lower compression will that work?? does any one know what i would be looking at with a 4.200 gasket on the same setup
