Just a short background, with the stock head I was making around 105 PSI in each cylinder. I got ahold of a head that is milled .040 and with that on I have 125 PSI in each side. Now I know that is low and that I should rebuild it but since (1)each side is even (2) I'm going on a riding trip next week and don't have time for a rebuild and (3) I'm a poor college student I can't do a rebuild just yet.
I'm looking to get a coolhead with some 20cc domes b/c I'm looking to get my compression somewhere around 145-150 so this should do it.
As mentioned, poor college student looking for some more compression right now...would it be ok to mill say another .020 off the head just for now?
No it won't stay like that for long, yes I'm planning on a rebuild once I get my 1st paycheck, this is just one of those "quick fixes" that I don't see really causing any harm. I just want to know if mechanically it can be done w/o any problems. Also what's the max that can be taken off the stock head?
Thanks!
