Questions?? Toro nero

Monty,quick question,you posted on one of the threads that you can shim it at .70mm and use 30% nitro after break in, I just picked up a used Toro '09 version (Fusion modded) with about 3-4 gals on it, what are the advantages and disadvantages of running it a .70 compared to .80 ,thanks in advance.

shim toro to .60mm after full break in , somebody missed the mark on the toro as far as strokexborexvolume = deck heighth equation

massive torque gain , stronger running engine , usually less mileage but on the toro there is runtime gain .

hopefully you like the toro

Monty,
When you fill a crank do you also drill it too?
Can you change crank timing?
