My oldest brother asked me a good question the other day. He asked me if different thicknesses of head gaskets were used to change the compression ? I did not have an answer, logic would say a thinner one would bump the compression up. Is this something that was done in the past and currently is still being done ? I told him that i would ask my fellow bolters, somebody will have the answer.
Thanks,Tim
