jakehopt Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Alright, all this talk about milled heads lately got me askin alot of questions... What is a milled head? What does the milled mean? What kind of power difference does it make? Can you do it on a stock banshee motor without adding anything? Any help would be pretty cool, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Simply put, you shave material off the gastket surface of your head to raise compression. From .015 to .030 is common... It will give you some more snap and bottom end...albeit at the sacrifice (slight) of top end...which, the shee has plenty to lose... Just make sure you check compression if you do, you don't want to run lower octane gas if your compression gets up there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakehopt Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Oh ok, thanks. Will your pistons and everything run with a milled head (stock that is)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yep, sure will. The only time you have to get the head machined is when you start with a stroked crank.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakehopt Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Stroked Crank? Sorry for all the n00b questions, but I really don't know much. What does it mean when they say "4mm Stroker? or any mm stroker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 It basically means your crankshaft has a longer stroke... Do a search, you'll find all the info you'll ever need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
