shaving some meat off your head will raise comp
thicker head gasket will lower compression

other ways to lower comp-
different pistons
grinding some meat out of the combustion chambers in the head

Only if you know what your doing.

im assuming that by compression plate, he means a super thick head gasket sort of thing, made of steel or something?
never seen this done but dont see why it wouldnt work with a gasket on either side of it

From what i've i've heard using two gaskets, either by them selves or with a decompression plate between them isn't a good idea.
Using a thicker gasket made from something like copper would be a better idea. But using one thats too thick and i start running the same risk as using two. Blow-outs.
Better to use pistons built for the compression that your after.
