    u said do u even know about a gasket with a tongue smiley,
    IS this a tongue smiley? I use this as a smiley for thinking.


    u have that metal gasket thing right
    we need to remove that ?
    Yes

    if we remove doesnt it effect the whole block ?
    i mean its sitting ?
    The distance between the piston top and the head will be reduced by 0.5mm and will results in increased compression ,which gives us the bump in performance.



    and in ur 1st pic
    some grease kind of thing ?
    what is it ?
    do we need to apply that grease followed by removing the gasket(metal) as u mentioned ?
    Yes,Its the Liquid gasket.

    Have a look at this pic,Karizma's cylinder and gasket.


    when i fitted my bike with k&n without the hose pipe, the bike was giving okay kind of performance bt when i fitted it with hose pipe, my bike was not even reaching 40 properly.... Does ths mean that fitting a hose pipe increases the amount of air? Thats what i think.... Plz make me understand this theory someone with valid reasons
    Don't know about this,PSR ji Help!

    i do know what a gasket is
    Ok,I will explain!

    A gasket is a seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Gaskets allow "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities.Like our engine crank case etc.

    Have a look here,The black colored thing is the liquid gasket mainly SVC people uses it in the Head of the engine.



    Then paper gasket mainly used in crank case,clutch cover comp etc.


    i asked what changes need to be done to it
    ?
    See the marked one,its another gasket(metal gasket i think) so removing it will reduce height and will create an increase in power. Guess you understand what a gasket is and what i mentioned here.


    u dont need to mock fun of someone when they dont know about it
    all are here to know something from each other
    Mock Fun? When did i made fun on you? I hadnt done and will not done on anyone,even i am still a noob and i dont love poking others.I love to share my knowledge and didnt expect this from an xBhpian!
