I have a crossflow 150. In the off season, I am going to install some high compression heads in the offseason. Does anyone make a thinner head gasket or all they all the same?

They should all be the same, except for minor variations between manufacturers.
The high-comp/low-comp variations are all in the machining of the heads combustion area.
Don't forget to re-jet carburetors after change.

Re: different thickness head gaskets?

Thanks for the responses. I do plan on re-jetting. I am basically going to rejet it like a 150 xp and test it from there. I'm also putting in Boyesons and filler blocks. So, I definately need to rejet! The reason i was asking around about head gaskets is because I want the absolute most compression I can get. I know from the high performance automotive world, that there are different thickness gaskets. I just didn't know about the marine world.
Thanks again.
