Right,

Bought some forged pistons and rods (Burton rods + accralite pistons) for my zetec turbo build, but bein the dick that I am sometimes I've bught standard Zetec ones which raise compression to 11.4:1 !

Now I kno this is not suitable for turbo use, my question is..

Burtons can supply me with a 3.5mm ish head gasket, which with my dodgy maths I think will drop the c/r to approx 9.0:1. Is this still too high? Or will I be ok as the pistons an rods are good quality forged jobs? Also the gasket, is it ok usining a Cometic head gasket that think, or is it a bodge up job?

My heads battered with this now!!
