226 Flat Six Head Question
Anybody know how much I can have machined off the head to raise the compression? I have the suggested amount of valve clearance between the valve and head. I can use clay to figure the clearance between the head and valves. But how much can I take off and not worry about the head cracking? I would like to get the compression up to around 8.50:1 to 9:00-1.
