basky mate not being funny . but for what its worh fella .

get rid of the de-comp plate , pull out the pistions and get .5mm skimmed off the top of them ,

thats what i did and wouldnt be that much of a task seeing as all the sump breathers and water pump plates been done ,

i wouldnt stick with the de-comp plate or if u have to keep it low boost and got get it set up properly ,

just my advice matey ,

hope he enjoys the car fella
