80overShee Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 If you are looking to boost your compression then why not. That is the main purpose behind the 'cool heads' manufactured by the larger companies. The 2 main differences is you can have interchangeable domes (change compression) and a better cooling effect. If you are only going to be upping your compression a little then I wouldn't even think twice about it. Heck, I'd go that route first, save yourself $250. Oh.....and then it LOOKS stock too. Both ways have their upsides, but if its free....go for it, you won't really hurt anything unless he is a horrible machinist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggun6ss Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I milled mine 30 thousandths. I noticed more low end gain but not a lot. Now I have a Noss head and like it a lot better. No, you do not have to rejet. Edited March 20, 2006 by biggun6ss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggun6ss Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 how much for the noss head 489997[/snapback] I paid around 240 for the head and domes. If you order one just remember to tell them that you are a BansheeHQ member and you will get a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnoss Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 A silver head and domes is $234.00 + shipping with the BHQ discount. If you have the stock head milled, check your squish clearance afterwards to be sure it's not too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRST BANSHEE Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 A silver head and domes is $234.00 + shipping with the BHQ discount. If you have the stock head milled, check your squish clearance afterwards to be sure it's not too tight. 490597[/snapback] you can check your squish first if you have a set of micrometers and some solder. with your head removed and almost at TDC, place a piece of solder on your piston next to the wall in the middle so you get a good reading without the piston rocking. put the head back on and slowly roll the engine past TDC. remove the head and measure the solder thickness.good luck.
