Although I haven't built a Porsche motor yet (and will be asking lots of questions from you guys when I go back up), I would think stacking gaskets would not be a good thing.

I would think the movement between the two while you torque would cause uneven distribution of pressure. I know in the jet engine world, we were never allowed to stack shims or gaskets of any kind.

But, I'm not an Engineer and have never torqued a 911 cylinder down, so what do I know?
