does the xr400 head gasket increase power any ?

or will the extra slack in the cam chain be a real problem?

i am going to put a xr400 cam & a adjustable cam sprocket also so i can change cam timing.

the xr400 gasket is thinner and will increase your compression, thus giving you more power, thus giving you more cam chain slack.

Will the chain adjustment slide take up the slack? and how much compression will it gain?

I had the shop put an xr400 cam and gasket in mine. I can't tell you what a difference it made b/c I had all the work done at once. It's quicker than stock for sure!! It has been in for 2 months of hard, everyday riding and no problems.
