Ok so what’s wrong with opening up the space between the piston and the ‘squish area’ to lower compression? I could probably search and find this out on my own, but hey, you’re here. :rofl ---

There’s usually less than .030" clearance in these areas in such cases. What they do is cause the combusting gasses to rapidly travel towards the center of the combustion chamber and increase turbulence, thus increasing the combustion rate. By dropping the C/R with a thicker gasket, the squish area becomes not as effective, and you will lose some power, among other things. ---

Increasing the piston-to-head (quench) clearance is a simple way to reduce the CR and is a lot cheaper than doing a dish piston or machining your head. i personally would not just gamble with a random thicker head gasket though because u can effecivly ruin your “squish” area altogether. so…like i said before, cost effect but not ideal. i have seen many many engine builders do this to NA cars when built for boost and have them work just fine. so Jon, your right about me not knowing a ton about engine building, but thats like me saying u dont know shit about designing a large caliper weapon. ---
