stronger head gasket?

[mageri]

Hi,

do anyone know if there is any stronger replacement to the orginal head gasket?
or maybe copper gasket or orginal with o-ringed block?

any tips are welcome!

What is your original gasket? If you have an older motor you might have the old style metal gaskets for which there are better composite gaskets. You'll loose a little bit of compression though with these gaskets, but you can mill the head to regain it.

And thing is that i want to lower a bit of compression, its welcome.

ARP most likely already has the specs on 910 head bolts, they are probably not listed in the catalog. A phone call might straighten it out. I believe jae ( www.jaeparts.com/ ) sells them. Also recently mentioned on the Yahoo list is O-ringing the block, which a lot of high boost motors do, especially in the Japanese scene.
