What is the standard thickness of the grubee gt5 base gasket ?
I am getting some weaping out of my base gasket since i raised the comp to 11:1 and need to change it out. When i get the jug off i am going to do someore porting and open it up but i wanted to make my own base gasket from better gasket material and need to know the standard thickbess.
Also i would like to go thicker on the base gasket to raise the port timing some then grind down the floor ofcthe intake port to match the thickness added. Whats the best amount to raise the jug. ?
Was thinking raise the jug a little bit say .5mm more than stock with a thicker gasket then porting .5 off the bottom of the intake and exhaust to match it. This woyld give me the same floor hights as stock but the ports will be taller by .5 .
I know i will loose a little compression but that can be had back by decking the jug .5
Does this sound like a good idea to open up the motor and net me more revs ???
