kaw rider:
what is the stock squish set at.

billygoat500:
use the search engine, lots of info

stewart:
hey brian  thanks.... i  would say .025 cut on head with .010 head gasket and 0 deck hieght but if you  run 110 reaserch or 105 moter octane fuel   but you will lose sevral horse power with stock dome angles . check squish with a piece of silver solder .062 dia put in plug hole up agianst cyl wall rotate moter  then mike solder itshould not be much thiner than ,030 stewart

KXcam22:
Stewart,
  What angle do you set the squish band at?  When you cut the head do you trim the piston crown to match the head angle? (all these pesky questions....). Thanks. Cam.
