Another thing to watch for on some of the aftermarket high compression heads is the piston to head clearance if you pistons come up over the top of the block (usually from milling the block too many times).

I was thinking of buying a Lion 4 plug head head. I heard good things about them and the fact that they place the spark plugs directly over the pistons.

Any other recommendations?

I'll check the top of the pistons in relation to the top of the block.

Thanks
