Default Thin head gaskets

Hi, I just got my ZC head and I am about to do a mini-me, I have a question regarding a head gasket. I 've heard that there are some head gaskets that are very thin, thus they help you to reduce the compression. Has anybody heard about those gaskets for 1992 Civics Si? If so, could you tell me where I can get one of those. Thank you very much

Thin headgaskets= Raise in compression
Thick headgaskets= Drop in compression.

I am terribly sorry, I meant that I wanted to raise compression and I am looking for a THIN gasket.

wait, you think you're doing a mini-me w/a zc head?? I hope you meant z6 b/c everything I've heard says the zc head will not fit....

The compression is already up a full point after the mini-me swap...assuming you do get the Z6 head and not a ZC...You don't need a thinner gasket.
