Of course, I don't know when I will find the time to do ANY of this
I agree. The high compression piston is not needed. Porting and the timing key will give the best results without hurting the reliability of the engine. Can't wait to see the gains you will get. I love doing this kind of stuff. The work I did on my X22R was fun and the results were crazy. I know you will post everything.
