so ive done some research but didn't find what I was looking for . I know milling the head to raise compression isn't the best way but I was real curious if anyone has done this . how far you took it and what ratio it produced . seeing now you can cut deeper valve reliefs in the pistons and adjust for it being retarded with a adjustable gear was real curious . I did find where a guy stated he milled the head 50ths but never stated the finish of ratio or performance increase . thanks for any info on this .

This was popular back when factory pistons were cheap, and good aftermarket
were expensive. It's got problems- valve timing for one, quench area for 2, but
it does work, after a fashion. Just like blow- through carbs 'worked'.
Now that you can buy an aftermarket forged high compression piston for hardly any
more than a quality stock slug, it makes more sense to do it once, get the right pistons,
and do it right.
Yes, I have several 2002 engines like that. But when I build a new one, I use as un- milled
a head as I can find.
my take,
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
