21. Nipple enhancement (score: 1): Author: Billy Zoom <billyzoom@billyzoom.com>; Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2006 14:53:48 -0800; Have any of you ever managed to replace the water pump bypass nipple in the head without removing the head?

They both have low treadwear warranties, which is encouraging. BZ; /html/spridgets/2006-03/msg00988.html (7,178 bytes)

Everybody offers three styles: 948, 1275 downflow, 1275 crossflow. APT says the 1098 is the same as 948, but different from 1275 downflow.

I don't think most of us want to lower the gearing any. 175's are a little too skinny for 4" rims. Although some people do it, it's not recommended.
