Stacking headgaskets for scram 400??
I'd be surprised if it worked, but less if it didn't
I'd like to try it, but it seams my local "stealer" wants $25.00 a gasket, that's right, for just one headgasket. that is how much a headgasket costs for my old 300zx!
the guy at my local machine shop told me he'd remove enough from the head to allow the use of pump gas, for just $30.00
how much difference would 14 to 1 be from 12 to 1, power wise?
thanks

I wouldn;t machine the head down personally, its an expensive piece and with a new dome you could sell it latter. You may want to look for a standard head thats been machined to 12 to 1 there has to be some floating around here. or trade with someone who has a machined stock head or a twelve to one dome.
In theory it would be 6-8% power loss 14 to1 to 12 to . What kind of gas were you running with the 14 to 1.

conig, I bit the bullet and ordered a 12:1 dome last night, weighing my options, that seemed to be the best one.
and I never got a chance to run the thing yet, but this is the story...
I bought the quad from a friend at work, he told me nothing about the head or any of the mods, he just told me that he couldn't keep the thing running, so I bought it pretty cheap
I then tear it apart and find the 14:1 dome installed and asked him what gas was in it...he said just pump gas arizona 91 octane..DOH!!!
so I haven't run any fuel thru this thing yet

yeah, bought it for $1200 with new tires, paddles, hitch and rack and all the mods listed in my signature. spending $170 for the top end work and $80 for the new dome, should be a good running bike for not alot of money.
hopefully there is nothing else wrong with it (crosses fingers)
