My motor has 8.6 low compression, 82mm pistons. I have been looking around for metal head gaskets and I have seen a few different thicknesses for HKS. The thicker they are the lower the compression but if my compression is already low, which one would I choose? Choices: .7mm, 1.0mm,2.0mm,1.6mm www.alamomotorsports.com/HKS/hkshead.htmFYI The heads have never been shaved but has been sent to the machine shop before just to get stocked up. Any help would be great. Thanks, Byron
