1) rarther than a decomp plate, would one of those copper head gaskets (is it ferriday make them? ) be a viable alternative, as there is no gasket as such, and the squish area could be built back in by shaping the gasket?

2) does the squish area on a 2wd and 4x4 head vary? I know they are diff in combustion chamber design, ie pent roof and rounded.

3) do valve cutouts in pistons promote hotspots and det?
