Default low compression head gaskets

well i am using a head gasket from an 88 crx, it cost me about $15 dollars but its a composite gasket and should lower compression to about 9.0-9.1. however i was thinking of peeling apart a stock metal head gasket (3 layers) and use the 2 outer layers to place on top of and on the bottom of the crx gasket. This is what i plan on doing in a month or two. ive never heard of anyone doing this though, so it would be experimental. the great part is itll only cost a little bit of cash as opposed to the really expensive aftermarket head gaskets. if anyone has any input on this idea i would really love to hear your ideas.
