Compression bump via head gasket?
I'm considering running a .016" head gasket on my 420 vs the factory Lifan (? .045"?)
Has anyone done this?,.. Anyone know what the "bump" would be? Will this require different push rod length? Thanks |

Re: Compression bump via head gasket?
There's a chart on the Vegas Carts site that has has compression ratios and how much needs to be milled off of the head. I would guess they have a good idea about when you need to change push rods as well.

^ I agree
Slap a turbo on it and you will see a improvement. |
