Well I am new to 90's so my question is the extra head gaskets that are 0.1mm and 0.2mm that came with the engine to be installed before flight or can the engine be run as is? Do the diferent gaskets creat more or less compression or something. Please advise.

This will be going in a Vibe 90 with a MP2 pipe.

if you are using 30% fuel, put all 3 head shims into the motor.

30% needs at least .016 (the 2 thick ones) so as to not detonate. If you are at sea level, and in warm conditions (I fly in Southern VA), then all three gaskets give you .020, and it is a bit easier to tune.
I can run .016 in mine, but if it gets hot I get some cackling before I make really good power.

You only got one response, because you got a good one right off. I'm at about 900 MSL, and I found that 3 worked the best on mine here. there wasnt' much of a noticable performance difference between 2 and 3, but it was easier to tune and seemed a bit smoother.

Ok thanks for the help guys, I will be installing the two extra gaskets that came with the engine.
