I was talking to tbre this morning and according to my piston to deck height he recommended the 0.4mm one I had in my hand. I guess I should have got my machinist to check this not just skim it during the machining. He said I would have been way low on comp as I was using a 1.3mm gasket. Being a dedicated e85 car I can't see it being a issue with a bit of extra comp once it's retuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if it goes better, and how much timing has to change with the increased comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
