I installed the cams with stock timing. I did not elect to install them with any advance because this is not a carbureted 16 valve pushrod v8.

I also did not mill the heads because that is a stupid way to get compression in general and there is only a 2mm quench area. If you go beyond that the piston crashes into the head as the combustion chamber is significantly smaller than the bore.

I do not know the compressed thickness is of the stock head gaskets but let's just say that it is the thinnest I have ever seen.

I thought the difference between my other mods and Jon's lack thereof was a perfectly logical explanation for our resulting differences.
