I guess its to much compression and yes 2 base and one head gasket
I cant see how it lowers it to much the base gasket is so thin I installed mine without a base gasket only used silicone and it ran great

If you have too much compression it will lead to knocking. Knocking leads to blowing up motors. It doesn't take much to change compression in an engine, an extra gasket does help if you need to lower compression.
Some people also run extra base gaskets when they do a 2mm stroker crank rather than machine the piston. Usually 2 or 3 gaskets.
