Your post probably makes no sence to him... (Sorry)
A spoon headgasket is not woth the money IMO.
Take your b16 head off, have it milled 10 thousands of an inch for $25 at clearwater cylinder head. Then buy an OEM b16 headgasket, remove the middle ply & install it.
Your compression ratio will increase & you will see some performance gains.
Honestly this is the cheap way to make power.
If you want to make real power, go with a built 1.8L bottom end or install CTR pistons/Cams & valve springs into your b16
