the thinner the head gasket higher comp. thicker= lower.
i dont understand why you dont just buy a thin head gasket,
im not a pro but if you do that do a stock gasket you may over heat it.

Cometic may be able to help you out, but it seems to me that the difference in compression would be so minimal its not worth the risk of overheating.

friend of mine did that do his d16y8 and there was a tone change in the exhaust and felt a little quicker. then the car started overheating, warped the head, and messed up a bunch of other things on it.

dont take layers out of your head gasket...

which was ^ why your friend car got messed up. it wasnt cooling right.

just go to www.cometic.com i have ordered from them before they do good work.

just keeping the middle layer wont seal the block to the head...

cometic is good but just as he said
your not gonna get much for power, i would just keep the stock size, and look for other ways to get more power.
