i may be wrong ,but in order to raise compression, you want less gasket,not more. but maybe the new piston size is compensating for your choice in gasket size. just a thought.

im pretty sure antrmo is right, if you want to raise compression u need to take your head to a machine shop and have them shave a few thousandths off, you want to decrease the amount of area not increase.
