I too was looking into 'thick' head gaskets as a way too lower the compression in my 455. Everybody I talked to that I considered knowledgable; in racing circuits, machine shops, etc...all said the same thing: NOT for street use! If you're racing, and you're going to be pulling the engine apart all the time, then copper gaskets are okay. But street use will kill them way too quickly; and I was told, "You'll have water everywhere." (Everywhere you DON'T want it, that is.) I was convinced; so instead of using thick gaskets; I'm using a new block!

Why not dish or chamfer your pistons?

didnt dish or chamfer pistons because my pontiac engine builder is a freak. assured me ova and ova that engine would be fine, ... but running 94 octane on a 10.75 to 1 compression engine aint good. so i was looking into a temporary solution until i gots the bux for deeper work.

Run the Primaries rich.

Cut the sparkplug ground electrode to half-length and side-gap to .035"

Limit total advance to 34degreees tops at 2800RPM and higher.
