Hello everyone !
I'd like to raise the compression ratio of the MC, without expensive add-ons.
A cheap way of doing so would be to replace the stock cylinder head gasket with a thinner one.
Here come my questions...
1. I couldn't find thinner head gaskets for the MC. Does that exist, or will I have to make one myself (how ?)
2. What is the thickness of the stock cylinder head gasket ?
3. Is there enough clearance between pistons and valves, spark plugs, etc. to replace the stock cylinder head gasket with a thinner one ? (How thin a gasket ?)
4. Are there any drawbacks (apart from knocking) using a thinner cylinder head gasket ?
Knocking should not matter as this car would eat european premium unleaded (MON=88, RON=98, AKI=93) and/or LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) (MON>89, RON>101, AKI>95).
Thanks !
Cobus.
