hi, i run a 353 with the standard head shim of 0.3mm here in Asia with 25% nitro fuel..

was contemplating on whether to add another 0.1mm but did not in the end.. after 1 race, i open up my engine head, notice all ok and not pit marks on the head (no detonation also..).

guess it's ok then not to add shim ? ... what you guys think ? ...

thanks in advance..
