Sort of like cutting the old Factory steel head gaskets to fit the liners,=
except you can't cut those with a knife.=C2=A0 Did you know they were orig=
inally made to be part of a decompression kit for Europe, due to poor fuel =
quality there.=C2=A0 Someone (probably Kas or Group 44) came up with the id=
ea of using them to increase compression in race engines..
