Send me one I'll perform all the special Jaz tests not offered by anyone else like:

How does the engine perform while casing a jump.
How hot does the engine get after lawn darting
Will it keep running after a WOT crash into the hay bails.
will it go lean whilst cartwheeling down the front straight.

and my ultimate test!: How long will the head color last after skidding upside down twice a lap.

Default Shims on a +4C

Monty,

My Nova +4c has about 4 1/2 gallons on it and seems to be losing power lately, but it still has a ton of pinch left. I was wondering if removing the thin head shim to give it more compression would help it gain some power back before I do a total rebuild on it? All the internals still look good, I just want to get some of the power back that it had at around 3 gallons.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I wouldn't recommend taking the .20mm shim completely out but replace it with a .10mm
