Tell him to go for it, but make sure the video camera is rolling when he first fires it up...

Cut the pistons for valve clearance or change the cam timing if it will do so without being to far advanced or retarded. Or get some ultra thick cometics...........just remember the compression will go down......... Wink

Single embossed "shim steel" head gaskets CAN be stacked up to 3 thick.
First ... a shim steel head gasket must be available for the engine in question.
Cometic will make you ANY thickness you want.

Some performance engines in the 60's actually came from the factory with 2 gaskets on each side.
The street 406 Ford FE and 409 Chevrolet immediately come to mind.

I have saw it done on a chevy inline 6 and he drove that thing a long long time like that.

Not sure what head gaskets were used.
