Just put on thicker head gaskets. Way easier.

not a whole lot of optinos for the 60* 6 as far as that goes.

I could always just take a couple hits from a bong & use 2 head gaskets on each side. not



Alternative is dished pistons, and that involves taking apart a good motor. damn this sux

Did you think I was joking about that? Seriously, if you want to lower CR cheaply you can get .100-.150 head gaskets. As far as two gaskets, we've put two copper .125 gasket top to top on our diesel to lower CR and improve sealing. If our engine can hold together running 30 lbs. of boost then I think yours will too.
