Default my afr 185's were .006 twisted.
i just got a call from mac weld inc.
so i guess i found my problem why my car gave out on me.
the machinist will probably take off .008 to .010 so how does that figure into my compression?
these are 60cc,and according to DSS that's a 9.7
any math guy's here?

Here is a calculator for compresion ratio if this helps! Just if they are taking that much off go with like 59.7 CC heads intead of the 60
