The Base gasket 0.50 mm is a centerpiece for motorists. It is mainly used to:
-
Adjusting the rod: Essential when using longer rods or pistons with a different cap height of the standard.
-
"Fast track" diagrams: Allows you to raise the cylinder significantly to maximize the opening times of transfers, ideal for "long straight" type circuits.
-
Carter volume: Increasing the thickness to the base increases the dead volume of the bas-engine, which can make the engine less "nervous" and more progressive on low adhesion tracks.
