use a zetec head gasket if im not mistaken, and it automatically lowers the compression..im pretty sure thats what jeremy did w/ his pw focus w/ the svt bottom end
Talk to McNews about Cometic head gaskets. The stock Ford gasket (all models including SVT) is .027" thick. Some aftermarket ones like Felpro are .040", but that probably only lowers your c.r. to 9.7 or 9.8. Ask McNews which Cometic one you need for 9.0.
