well now i can help you,
honestly i dont think there is a headgasket thick enough to drop compression almost 2 points.
maybe 1 point max.
whats the setup? and what bore? so i can link you to what your looking for?

honestly your best bet to get it to the compression you were asking about earlier is to buy a new set of pistons, that way you get the compression about where you want it, especially without having to worry about valve to piston contact.....
the thickest headgasket can probably only give you about a point lower compression....

Re: tryn to drop compression ratio
Using a thick headgasket is the WRONG way to go about dropping compression.
Think about why that is before replying back.

Re: tryn to drop compression ratio
Spray a 200shot on there one time. That'll lower your compression

I agree with Jarrod...... thicker headgasket is a bandaid solution.....
