- Hi List My head is at the shop. I will have it milled to about 9.5:1 compression (can I get away with 10:1? without detonation, too much wear?). I have a mild cam already. While I have the head off t

- Joe--All of your questions are answered in Kas Kastner's new book: "The Triumph Preparation Handbook". Sounds like you're really into this engine, to where expert advise is in order. What's missing f

- Thanks for the reply Bob, I have the early head. My head measures 3.462, which works out to 8.6 (I assume the DPO skimmed the head at some point.) Would it make a difference in figuring how much to m

- If you have the early head, and your measurement gives approx 8.6:1, then your head is stock. The early heads had a factory rated 8.5:1 CR, close enough to your measurement. The Goodparts table is c

- I'm running 10:1 compression and have no problems. It depends a lot on the cam you select as to what compression you should have. My cam for instance has enough overlap to bleed off some of the pres

- My understanding is that if you can get the rocker arm to be perpendicular to the valve stem halfway through its full travel then rocker geometery is where it should be. Some of this can be taken up

- I asked Richard Good about this via email a while back, and he clarified it for me. The rocker geometry is affected simply by the height of the rocker fulcrum, the rocker ratio, and the height of the

- Roger Williams implies in his book that for many, simply using the adjustment screws from the earlier CC engines may well be sufficient for a CF engine that has had it's head milled. I think I would
