Could I use a thinner base gasket to bump up compression a little.

Hi Jeffery,
May I ask what's your compression reading now ?

I'm not sure, I know that 180 is good, Ive seen on the forums many with 150 and still running.. Why I'm asking is that if your compression is low, a top end rebuild would be better choice.
I know when I do a rebuild my target compression reading is 180...

Well the head gasket i have measures only .025 mm I don't believe they make a thinner one, and if they did I'm not sure it would hold up to the normal compression. If your looking for a little bump in power, I would look at changing the weights in your variator..
