<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Sort of like cutting the old Factory steel head gaskets to fit the liners, except you can't cut those with a knife. Did you know they were originally made to be part of a decompression kit for Europe, due to poor fuel quality there. Someone (probably Kas or Group 44) came up with the idea of using them to increase compression in race engines..</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jack<br></div><div><br></div>
