Default Head Gasket ?

Im trying to lower the compression on my s2000. I have heard that if i get a 3mm head gasket that i might have to re-shimmer my cams.. Is this true?

U wont have to do anything with the cams. It will just change the timing a little.

The stock cam drive gear can be re-phased by removing the hardened alignment pin.
