Morning Shave

Smokestoomuch · 02-15-2010, 06:27 PM

Is there any good reason why a person ought not shave a 4AGZE head to raise compression? I cannot think of any contraindications other than maybe the head might be a little thin in places. The timing belt might end up a bit long but there should be ways around that.

I would just use a thinner head gasket instead to achieve the same and you can always adjust the timing with a set of adjustable cam gears.

because if you shave too much then you will no longer be non-interference.

t-belt will be fine when adjusted...

might want to just consider a 7a MLS gasket....
