I also got my newly bored cylinders back with the CP flat top pistons and rings already preinstalled - sure makes things a lot easier

Here is a pic of the new Kramme-Lox piston wrist pin locks and the tool used to install them. The tool holds on to that 90 degree bent part to aid in installing - I will let ya know how it goes when I give it a go. I believe there is a You Tube video on this product if interested. Maybe I will be selling my circlip installer tool that I had bought

should put the static compression a shade over 10.5:1, heads were CNC'ed, ported, along with valve/guide job.

10.5 should give you a good kick in the pants.

picture above......

rough looking job, but should do the trick.

Thanks. To the best of my knowledge, AMS does all of GMR's headwork and I used AMS - they have been doing heads for a long time and the prices are very reasonable.

My crank is officially at Darkhorse, got there Wednesday. Was told it should arrive back at my Indy between Feb 17 - Feb 21

I do not have a flow sheet, Eric at AMS talked about the flow a little with me today because we had discussed the possibility of a 1.610" Exhaust valve but he made the decision not to go bigger because of how well the the exhaust flowed already with the stock size. I think he does so many of these heads and he tries to keep the cost as reasonable as possible that he does not produce a flow sheet every time. I'm sure he has a pretty good idea of what the numbers are, I could call but I fell pretty comfortable that I will be getting a lot bang for the buck.

Nice to have the rings done preferred. Takes a while and great care to do. Never seen clips like that....petty cool. Learn and see something new daily.
