On that note.. Boxer engines are a bit funky with gaskets
EJ251-Ej255 gaskets are thinner than EJ257 STI headgaskets.. BUT EJ257 gaskets give a HIGHER compression ratio to the same blocks....weird right?

I don't know EJ stuff at all, but what else is different? Or does just changing gaskets increase it?
There's something else involved there because and thinner but otherwise identical gaskets will always increase compression...
