that seems like a pretty significant gain for removing just 1 layer but with the small combustion chambers that Honda motors have i suppose its possible, but i cant imagine its possible without compromising the integrity and intention of the gasket. have you considered getting your head planed instead? i know if you take enough off you start to retard ignition timing but that would require more research to see just how much.
