Question for those of you have installed a thinner head gasket, what octane did you need to run, could your butt dyno feel any diff from the compression increase?
Thanks
Thanks
i don't recall ever seeing a thread about just the gasket. but i know the .45 gasket can be used. even seen a few use the .50 gasket.Already did the search... thats why I posted this question because I couldn't find where someone did only the head gasket without big bore kits, etc.

A-ha... So by pump gas, we/I "assumed" you meant 93. :dontknow:Thanks for the input guys.
My problem is in Nebraska 91 octane is all over , 92 is a rare find and 93 well haven't seen that in awhile. So I'm wondering would 91 and the thin .45mm gasket work. We all know manfacture's claims usually aren't true especially on every bike. I know our ratio is stated at 12.7:1 but I don't think that every bike or even one bike rolls off the line with 12.7:1 ratio. So maybe using a .45 isn't giving us what we think it should so that 91 may work.
