And how do you end up with a pitted head ? i hve not seen one yet and i been in this 3 years mostly basher but know racing for a full seasion i hope since i started racing last year the last two month and i did pretty good with it too so bashing gone for me i want to know my engines stuff for racing i kinda like the os 25 but hard to see the chart on what you did for it.
idea head clearance varies from engine to engine...most manufactures will set the head clearance on the large side for safety reason.....when dialing in a engine it is good to know the head clearance for reference..... pitting comes from running too lean........
