I'm still in the process of repairing my 036. I have new bearings and a gasket kit on order. I suspect the dealer will get them in on Monday. When I finished checking for vacuum leaks, I checked the squish with some soldier and found that it was around 0.031" and pretty consistent all the way around the cylinder. I haven't taken the cylinder back off yet to check, but I'm guessing my current (stock) base gasket is of the 0.5mm variety. I had thought about doing a base gasket delete when I went to put everything back together for the last time, but my math tells me that I'd end up with a squish down around 0.010" which is too small. I've read something about using printer paper and permatex, but I can't imagine that having a thickness more than .006" which still wouldn't be enough. Is there a common material in the 0.010" range that people use in this situation?
Thanks,
Mark
