Default head gasket spacer

Does anyone know of someone who sells headgasket spacers to lower the compression? I bought a b18c motor with raised compression pistons in it and type R camshafts and on the first crank, the pistons bent every one of my exhaust valves, so I think I am going to put my stock GSR cams back in, but I would still like to lower my compression a little. Any help would be appreciated.

are you sure the timing is set right and everything? could be a mistake in the build or parts are not lining up.

When I bought the motor, the head was completely redone, so I dont know all the specifics on it. I lined all the up marks up before cranking, I think that the lobes on the cam are too big and pushed the valves into the piston, bending all the exhaust valves. I think I am just going to put my stock GSR head back on the motor and sell the other head.
