mild tuning additional cylinder gasket ?

#1 Post by Motolli » Mon Jul 24, 2017 12:17 pm

Did anybody try this ? just use an additional lower cylinder gasket. This would rise all windows up about 0.5 mm. + milling the heads -0.5 to 1 mm to get the compression back and improve squish. TSI specs rise windows up to 1 mm ( + making them wider ), but this approach would be so easy, no grinding an milling inside the cylinders, just smoothen some edges, and you are done. And it would be reversable. Any ideas ?
