Re: Uber thanks to Bernie! and more..

7.8:1 stock spec rings, no overbore, just hone. It it might be kinda low for having 15k miles on it but I have reason to believe the valves arent seating correctly. Now that I have the tools I am going to take the head off in mid October and redo the valve seats, replace the valve guides and grind the valves before the last race of the season. When I put the motor together it had 8 bent valves, I replaced the valves and looked over the guides and they seemed ok. None of them were bent or cracked. Runs just fine but I have a feeling that I could get better numbers if I rebuild the head.
