Shaved heads

are we talking using stock pistons? :ohmy: any time you up compression you will get more torque compared to stock....... :dry: more compression = more heat the engine has to get rid of.... and you may need to run higher octane fuel to keep it from detonating, depending on the pistons compression ratio :ohmy: ...... :pinch: unless you dealing with a warped cylinder head ....it's better to go the thinner base gasket route IMO.. no two Kawasaki Z engines were identical as there are production line tolerances built into them + or - .002,.005,.010 etc. setting deck height is done in blueprinting to get the best performance with the combination of parts you have.......IMO :lol:

Damn decimal point. :woohoo:

No doubt. Less than one thousandth. How could they tell it needed it? :huh:

well its obvious you dont know that he put the decimal point in the wrong spot should be .065 or 65 thousands, not less than a thousands :blink: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I would not shave the head down and farther than you have to. Theres better ways to get more power than shaving the head down.

No, I was harassing him for putting it in the wrong place, but obviously you don't understand wry humor.

OK take your shots....I can handle it.....

for the record....it was .0065

usually .005-.010 thou will get things true again.Won't notice a difference in power but will keep her from leaking.Safe practice in my opinion...

Sixty five ten thousandths sounds more like it. Nice pic, btw.

Didn't you have your 810 milled .025"?

It's 6 and a half thousandths to me :laugh:
