Default Head Removal

2005 Screamin Eagle Ultra...103

Has anyone ever removed the head(s) to have compression release's installed? What release's do you recommend?

Thanks,
Scott

Have you done head work/pistons to increase the compression? If not, the compression on a 103 is not high enough to need releases. If you just want 'em, I'd do manual releases. Bobby Woods has some good manual releases.

If I pulled the heads, I'd have other stuff done to them besides just tapping for releases, but be ready to get off your wallet. Head design on the 103 leaves a LOT to be desired.
