Need to get my base gasket to 5,5mm thickness to get my squish set correctly.
Couldn't find a 5,5mm gasket and ended up with a 4mm, 1mm and a 0,5mm.
Do I add sealant beween the gaskets of just fit them 'dry'...?

Following prison rules will lead you to go in dry. But being a sensitive chap, I like to 'get wet' just to seal the deal.

Theeebond should do the job.

Failing that, ask for LeeRoy...

yes, surely the 4mm is a packing plate?, ideally it would be 4.5mm at least, and two 0.5 gaskets

Engine is a Monza 225 barrel, with 71mm Wiseco Kawasaki 440 Jetski piston and 58/116 crank. The longer rod + piston configuration requires to move the barrel about a bit to get everything to line up...
