yeah, to raise the compression, i dunno if i could bring myself to do it, but i am running a 2 layer y8 gasket right meow, and ive heard of people doing 1 layer mls on b-series, but i haven't seen or heard of anyone doing it on d-series and wanted to know if its possible.....?

pee ess....this would raise you from stock compression to close to just shy of 10:1 i believe...pretty good for a 28 dollar investment from a honda dealer haha
