SAAB developed a kind of oil-filled head gasket which led to the compression variation, but it was quite a complicated design, and even more complicated due to the valvetrain. Would be easier to apply to a 2-stroke design due to the absence of a valvetrain, altough a turbocharger with overbooster would be a more cost-effective option.
