weeeeeeeeeeeee,
whats up.
True, I experienced the same thing on different Nova' crankcase ( not as bad as daiz24 exp
) but 0.3 or 0.4mm head shim is easy and good to start with for 25 to 30%. But read plug and go as low as possible (within limit) to achieve the best result.
Also exhaust make some difference.

I agree with RayJ on the shimming and his numbers. Number and thickness of shims does not automatically result a sure head clearance number especially from one Nova engine to another...
In Thailand early this year, my NovaMax was running with 2 x 0.1 mm copper shims with the supplied 25% Tornado fuel. I used the 7tf plug. That translated to about 0.5 mm head clearance upon measuring and I was getting about 120 degree C during race condition.
