There's lots of gaps in the quench area theory. Even well engineered
combustion chambers like those on the honda vtec engines respond very
positive to thick gaskets. I leave the quench area experiments to the pros,
thicker gaskets usually work well. Thicker gaskets are inexpensive, piston
sets aren't.
