Head skmming and effects?

Recommended Posts

well as few people may already kno the jet ive aquired is in a sorry state these days and as i now gettin full bottom end and charger rebuild i gunna have to get head skimmed too i suspect but ive already purchased a racing spec HG and i was curious what the slight up in compression would do towards the charger i.e. affect performance in which case id have to order thicker HG and just disregard this one.

If the compression ratio ends up too high you will damage the engine most likely, probably by melting pistons or bending conrods.

 

Dunno quite how high you can push it tbh...

the head hasnt been skimmed previous and will only recieve the minumum amount if it does get a skim as car hasnt been overheating so i doubt it warped anywa, so i just hoping that will be ok as ive never really had forced induction before
