2.0 Head Gasket delete? Options

[torakki]

I've read where it's a good idea to remove the head gaskets and re-assemble without them. Something about, they crush and cause an issue. Is there anything else you need to do or change, in their place? Like a different head design?
Thanks

Question:

The update states improvements were made but does not say what they were unless I missed it in my speed read. What was done to accommodate the change?

Re-read, the stated actions are the improvements.

I re-read the stated actions. Just because the bulletin does not list the type IV does not mean it would not benefit from the upgrade as well. I was thinking there was some sort of a metallurgic change that our type IV's don't have therefore would be a negative if you tried it.

Type IV rods can be notched, Cylinders can be honed out for increased clearance, and the shims can take the place of the base gasket. Don't see the problem.
