how much can you shave the head?

<< < (2/3) > >>

stewart:
 i dont cut pistontop i cut 4 degree chamber in head

kaw rider:
what no body makes homemade flat top pistons.  :-D

mazstro:
so is it safe to just shave the head .025 and run the .010 head gasket without checking it after and what will i notice powerwise?

stewart:
hey brian i  always check it in line with wrist pin  with soft core less solder  .062 dia.and i turn moter past tdc 4 or 5  times i would always pre fer some one check the pieces seprate and figure but its  a neat way to look at the angle between  head and piston  and clearnce for some one who dose not want to pull head or have the stuff to check with...........  ps dont ever cut any head or use athinner gasket with out checking

KXcam22:
Stewart,
  Ah the secret is out, always checking with the solder in line with the piston pin. That way any piston rock won't introduce much error.  I have seen guys use plastacine but it is very hard to mic. Cam.
