Re: b18 head gasket question. (Jdmsolutions)

I have a question.

I found a cheap set of forged GSR pistons. I want to use them on my LS which would yield a 10:1 compression ratio with LS rods and a LS head.

I was wondering if anyone knows a thicker than stock (.026) headgasket I could use to bring it down a little bit.

I saw the Cometic is .030, which isnt even noticeable. Is the half point-full point of compression that vital?
