Head gaskets
If I replace my tin head gaskets with composite gaskets what effect will that have on compression ratio, please?

There would be a slight decrease in compression but not enough to be noticed and not enough for anyone to have AFAIK spent enough time and effort to measure it.

if you do then you will need to replace the head bolts to the stretch type too.
