I have a 5port standard head, maybe switching to turbo head, and I run 30% fuel. Do I need to change/add/remove shims? Also, any tricks to replacing the head? It looks like you:
Remove the backplate, head, burn room, shims
Push out the sleeve with popsicle stick or toothbrush, NOTING DIRECTION
Pull rod off the crank with string and slide piston assembly out, NOTING DIRECTION
Remove G-clip, wristpin, and rod
Clean motor insides with a little fuel
Check bearings for grit/slop
Install new rod, new wristpin, and new G-clip
Apply some ARO to piston/sleeve/rod
Slide in piston assembly, push rod onto crank, noting direction
Slide in sleeve, noting direction
Turn over a few times to check smoothness
Install shims, turbo burn room, cooling head, screws, plug
Install Backplate
Any corrections?
Thanks
