Default Stacking head gaskets?

Anyone know or have personally tried to stack 2 stock head gaskets to reduce, compression for turbo setups?

If so, is there any problems such as leaking, etc.

Anyone know where i can get a thick headgasket for a b18a motor. i know greddy and hks don't make it.

And please don't ask why i am thinking of doings this. I am not thinking of doing this. It is just for personal information.

i think you can
but it isnt worth the gain
its gonna lower your compression by like .8
besides, you could accomplish the same thing with a better fuel setup.

i got a friend who built his motor, but put high compression pistons for his turbo setup, by mistake. He calculated the compression ration and found an extra 3 layer would put it where he wants. sorry About the "I'm not planning to do anything" But i put a similar post up in another forum and got nothing but insults. I needed real answers.

I look forward to seeing that information if you can get it.

if thats all he wants, then im pretty sure you can
1) run 2 stock HG's
2) order a custom one with double thickness.
