Do they work

Yesterday i was talking to a guy that a few years back had a peugeot 205 1.9 gti turboed, he used stock internals and a stock head gasket "sandwiched" between 2 plates of an unknowned metal, he had custom made them in a company called "Spesso"... it worked just fine until it blew the rings...

Would it be possible to lower the compression from 10:1 to 8,5:1, and would i need longer head bolts?

 

sounds like you would need longer head bolts. so you mean metal plate - head gasket - metal plate, right? it sounds like it would work, but i would go the opposite way. head gasket - metal plate - head gasket. insure the sealing.

 

You wouldn't need longer bolts. The amount is you would need to raise the head would be minimal.

 

Ive used the shims before and never had a problem with them. Lots of people said i'd be popping head gaskets left and right but Ive never blown one running 11psi and under.

 

i dont remember the name of the company but someone sales a pretty thick gasket, like 2-3 times thicker than stock just for that purpose. i put it into a turbo calc with stock comp. ratio pistons and head and it went WAY down. i dont remember exactly how far but it was a good 1.5 off the ratio

 

I'm sure some one makes a thicker or stackable head gasket to lower compression. But it would be less than 1 point, and probably no good for high boost

 

you can get thick *** cometic headgaskets.

 

You can also get copper plate gaskets for this purpose.

 

So a good alternative for low comp. pistons and everything that comes with it, would be a a thicker head gasket??

Does anyone know were can i find a thciker head gasket for a G13B engine from a swift gti?
