    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Changing head gasket

If a thinner one was available, you would then need adjustable cam sprocketss to degree the cams back in.

Get an 1166 kit while the cylinders are off:-D Big Jay is right, if you don't have the same heigth you started with you cams will be off. Ape has adjustable cam sprockets and machine shops can modify stock.

I am going to be changing my head gasket due to an oil leak. My block is clean so I know that the head gasket is the source not the valve cover. I will be ordering an entire gasket set from here

But before I order it, I was wondering if I could get a thinner head gasket to increase the cylinder compression therefore getting more power?

I wouldent even think about playing with different thickness head gaskets simply based upon the above mentioned cams fact, and once you start increasing compression, you could possibly encounter "detonation" (detonation is BAD!). And questions will arise thereafter as to how much octane you need to curb the detonation?. Really not woth the risks in my opinion.
