( @px200hh: What I asked was the "original" value, not the best value I should be looking for ! Thanks anyway So I have a value from amazombi...Thanks ! My Polini is already turned by 3mm and I have a 5mm alu spacer ---> 5 - 3 = 2mm :) So, naturally, the first thing to do would be to remove 2mm at the top to have the same compression ration and squish value with the Polini head. But, since I will probably give a try to a Malossi head, I was wondering how much exactly I should remove to my Polini top... According to amazombi's squish value (1.2mm) and if I want a 1.3mm squish, I should then only remove 1.9mm at the top of my Polini cylinder. I guess I should first get the cylinder head, then work on the cylinder, right ? :wasntme:
