Help Gasket Advice?
Ok getting Ross Pistons and Kore Rods need a gasket to go with Onpol special Port Polish Head,
IM, and BBTB.
My question is with size gasket should I buy as not to keep the compression from being too high.
So i dont need to use different fuel source. The .42MM or .62MM or .93MM thickness?
I hope someone can help me with this? Any takers................?

Well, if you are going turbo. I would use the STOCK hyundai gasket. And have Ross make dished pistons.
The proper way to lower compression is with lower compression pistons.
Those gaskets that kore offers are for people who wish not to changes pistons.
But you are changing pistons you just need a stock gasket.

whoah...what just a mintue here.
In your other post, you mention you are building a N/A motor. If that is the case...you want HIGHER compression, not LOWER compression.
You want the stock gasket and HIGHER compresison pistions...not lower.

Eewwwps, good call Random, didn't even see that. So wait a minute? You're gonna go fully forged pistons for a normally aspirated high-compression buildup? I mean, I suppose you COULD do that, but forged pistons are really not necessary.
Not only that, but they also can cause problems with warm up times and whatnot. You really only want to go forced when nothing else is going to hold the power.
A good set of hypereutectic pistons would work much better than a forged set for what you're wanting. I believe RPW makes high-compression pistons for the BETA engines for fairly cheap -- remember that the Australian dollar is running at about $.65 USD right now, so a $400 pricetag ends up being about $250 in US dollars.
