Guys, we recently converted our nitrous BBF to F3 on alcohol. We opted for the MLS Cometic gaskets to get the compression down to 12 to 1. The gaskets are about .140 thick. What are the down sides to having a gasket this thick in our combo?
The reason I ask is because, we went lean this weekend and blew one side and did a lil damage to the head (outside the chamber area). If it had not been for the thick gaskets, it would have probably gotten into the block and did major damage. did not touch the pistons at all either. So in this case, we're thinking the MLS gaskets can serve as the last line of defense if this ever happens again.
Is there anything wrong with having a gasket that thick?
572 BBF
A460 heads and block
small F-3...lol
