Thicker Head Gasket?
Hi. Looking to lower the compression on my motor so I can add a little more boost. Anyone have a contact for building an MLS for my platform?

You might try contacting VAC Motorsports. I know they have MLS head gaskets for M20 and M5X, they might have one for N54/N55. I've ordered from them in the past, they're reputable.
good luck.
good luck.

Looks like CES does a cut ring style approach, but they do not have parts for the N62.

Sorry to hear. I've only ordered from them a few times, but didn't have any trouble getting in touch with them. This was a few years ago, so maybe something has changed. Sorry I assumed you had a turbo I6! Good luck with your search.
