Well, no black smoke means it's not overfuelling.
The boost compensator is fitted to adjust the
fuel injected to the level of boost.
It's essentially an aneroid that alters the rack position according to the intake pressure.
No, the compensator isn't fitted to take care of over-fuelling, it's fitted to take care of under-fuelling.
The injection pump still has to be adjusted so the
fuel being injected on each stroke, matches the amount of additional air being pumped in.
Aftermarket gaskets are quite satisfactory. AA Gaskets make gaskets in 3 thicknesses. Toyota make them in 5 thicknesses.
The piston protrusion has to be measured when the head is off and the thickness selected according to the amount of protrusion.
I would be selecting a thickness one grade higher than recommended, but that depends on your personal choice and the amount of boost you are running.
Cheers, Ron.
