i guess you could put them on but thats a lot of work to take off the heads and change the gaskets just for a little bit less compression... unless you are changing the heads already??

If you want to use the cometic gaskets to lower compression, I wouldn't go bigger than .073 (or whatever size it is). After that, you're really hurting quench. I've never had a problem with my cometic gaskets, even after reusing them 3 times.
