I would also like to know this. They are three layer gaskets, I've heard of people seperating them but wasn't sure.

Yes, they make aftermarket ones. You can't buy an OEM 1 or 2 layer.
And you add to lower compression, he is wanting to remove to bump compression.
Don't do it lol, check out inline four, password, site like that. They are out there.

You should have bought a Z6 gasket if you're trying to raise compression.
A lot of turbo guys use Y8 headgaskets on their Z6 turbos to lower compression.

oh i dunno. on the compression calc site it has an option for stock z6/y8 gasket giving a compression of like 9.6 to one or something , but then it also says "2 layer y8 gasket" which gives like a 10.2 : 1 ratio. so i dunno. i jus wanna hear from someone who has used it seperated before and know if it works.
