check out all modern design engine they all use very thin gaskets

you say use double gaskets rather then decomp..
but talk about heat transfer being poor through thicker head gaskets?, so why not use a thin mls and aluminium decomp..which will work as an extension to the combustions chambers to get your desired CR...and should transfer heat alot better then 2 large head gaskets
i understand your saying dont use that route to begin with... pistons ideally yes are then best route, but not everyone can/wants to budget for that
can you elaborate on this, as by your own logic your contradicting your own posts?
