PassionRE Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 If you decide to shave .030" off, be sure to check squish clearance before running the engine. I usually reccomend no less than .028" squish on anything other than full race engines. The Noss head is a wiser choice for many reasons....appearance, cooling capacity, and flexibility down the road in different porting arangements and engine configurations...just dish out the bucks for the Noss head, save time and effort...you wont be sorry...Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 To check your squish, you can use a piece of solder. Take out the spark plug. Bend a piece of solder at a 90deg angle and put it in the spark plug hole. Make sure the solder is long enough to reach the outside edge of the dome of the head. with the kick starter, roll the piston 1 cycle to smash the solder. Now, you can measure the smashed solder with a dial caliper or mic to see what your squish is. You should do this at 4 to 6 points on each cylinder to assure you head in centered with the piston.... not that most can be changed.
