I've never used one, but have one sitting on the shelf from someplace I got it long ago...

What's the highest static compression ratio anyone's used these at?

I have to pull the head off the hpak duster since it's not oiling the rockers or shaft... the engine is 12.18:1 so I would normally go with the Victor Reinz/Mahle gasket since I know they hold up to the pounding...but I have this Corteco gasket on the shelf....

Anyone? Inquiring minds want to know!

I had good luck with them, I presume you mean the white ones, but my compression was in the low 11s. They are a bit thicker I think .055 so they reduce compression a bit.
