Message	I wouldn’t worry about a thicker HG, you can dial the cam timing in and a little extra compression isn’t going to hurt. What does the machine shop say? I know that cometic have a bad wrap but in my own very limited first hand experience of witnessing failures there have always been assosciated issues (1x overheating due to fan issues and 1x head not torqued correctly)
