Raising the sleeve by adding shims is an easy trick which can also be undone. But it is depending the amount of headshims you have, if currently there is only one 0.1mm headshim there is no room to add shims under the sleeve because what you add under the sleeve you must take away from above the sleeve to keep the combustion chamber on the same level. It is wise to buy a shim set because you have to modify one to fit it arround the sleeve.
I just re-read this post and noticed the bolded comment. Increasing the fuel consumption of this engine is not a problem; often when driving it around I end up waiting for it to empty the fuel tank. If I were racing it, that would be awesome, but since I'm just bashing this car and I'm not running it at top speed constantly, it can take 20 minutes or longer to burn 75cc of fuel. This engine is like a Honda engine -- somewhat underpowered and very economical.
