mattmans1983 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 How much can you shave your stock head and how much will you gain with ever bit you do it. I have a machine shop at home and didn't know how many .001" to take off. Thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 I do head mods. I will not take off any more than .030" for anyone. Any more than that and you will get an improper squish and risk serious damage. You will see some nice gains, and I am sure you will like it. I have not had one complaint.... Just make sure it is set up properly before you go cutting away. I made a jig, and I use a surface grinder..... and here is a finished head, .030" off...

ledofthezep Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 That's what I did...still 150lbs compression on each cyl....still have stock pistons too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dextreme Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I am having my stock head cut to .065...but the squish will be changed as well as it will be "o-ringed". It should be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I just had 0.030" milled off of mine. My compression went from 120 psi to 154 psi. Which is just about the compression I was wanting so that I can continue to run premium fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXWS6 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 should we expect the shee to start running much hotter after the head is milled?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
