The Compression dripping cylinder head gasket, developed by 034 Motorsport, is a high performance Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) cylinder head gasket specifically designed to lower the compression ratio by 1.0 point in Audi's hydraulic 10v and 20v 5-cylinder engines. This upgrade is ideal for tuners looking to unlock extra power in their engines by lowering compression, creating more headroom for higher boost levels and improving detonation resistance. Particularly suited for engines such as the AAN and 3B 20v turbo, this head gasket lowers compression from 9.3:1 to 8.3:1. This reduces the risk of detonation, leading to better performance under heavy loads or high boost. In other applications, such as 7A and 10v engines, this gasket lowers the compression ratio by approximately 1.0 point, further increasing tuning possibilities. Made from OEM-quality materials, the head gasket ensures durability and reliability, even under extreme conditions. Installation is simple, but in some cases it may be necessary to remove the rear alignment pin. This is a minor adjustment that can be quickly performed with pliers or a Dremel wrench, without affecting the fit or function of the head gasket. The Compression Dropping Head Gasket allows you to utilize the full potential of your 5-cylinder engine, whether you are looking for more power or greater reliability under tough conditions.
Advantages:
• Lowers compression by 1.0 point for better detonation resistance.
• Suitable for 10v and 20v 5-cylinder engines with hydraulic valve lifters.
• Increases tuning possibilities and power.
• OEM quality with Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) construction.
• Easy installation, minor adjustments may be required.
