Stock just ain't good enough - head shave

**OldSchoolin86** · 05-16-2006, 05:59 PM

I was learning how to use a new toy today so I thought, "why not shave the tri-z head?"

Cool tool you got access to there frank!!!!!

Good camera to to catch those beads of lube in mid air.

Looking good- I was wondering just how much you can shave off the head of a Tri-z also 250r?

So you never want to run pump gas again?

Looks like he still has a lip on it, so I think he should be able to run 93.

I got my Z head shaved too..Ronnie did mine, i always wondered how it was done.

I guess I should have added

to it. It was not meant to hash on the guy.
I gotta stop doing that. Sorry. Not meant to offend.
He did do a good job on it.

I can dish out harsh too so I suppose I can take it

It should run pump gas fine.

I really didn't take too much out (how much is for me to know hahahaha).

So how much can you shave and still run pump gas?
How much you shave off that?

If your over 200 pounds of compression you need to be running race gas. I have 80 thousands shaved off my Tecate head, going to run 93 octane fine.

So if you shave 10 thou off a head you will be fine?

I took .060 off this one. It looks way worse but I repaired the dome first then ran it down.
