my opinion, ok

if you like your motor, raise compression with pistons use a stock or two layer head gasket and ARP head studs

Ok Well I have the P73 AO pistons (US ITR's). There going in a LS/Vtec with a B16 head. With the LS rods and I was wanting to run around 11.0/1 C/R. Well I can get that I just noticed with a 2 layer head gasket. That would be perfect. Now how do I go abouts this route? Where can I get a 2 layer? Or do I just get the OEM and only use 2 of the 3 layers? ARP head studs are in the works when the $$$$ is available. I currently have the pistons, rods are ready to be shot peened, block needs rehone, head is on lay away, have the GS-R crank girdle etc. Its a slow build up, trying to get done this summer. So yeah I kinda like the motor, or at least I should Wish me luck..
