Thin Head Gasket

[rashin]

I want to run a thinner head gasket on a 701. What are my options out there?

I have tried a 760 gasket but I am having problems making it seal properly.

You can get custom gaskets cut at Cometic, I have had them do 550 base and head gaskets for me. Less than $20 a pop for reusable copper.

I have an oem head that was machined for higher compression but need to reduce the head gasket thickness. Squish is too high (around 0.055-0.060) and compression is lower (160) than I would like.

Im thinking I may just switch to an ADA head. That way I can dial in the compression I want, and can easily take on and off....

I have slightly thinner stock replacement head gaskets at $28 plus shipping.
