Shave or not to shave?
I have a 1926 T Speedster. Have some overheating. I ran the engine and in a few minutes (At the correct water level) I saw bubbles coming up in the radiator neck.
I pulled the head and the head gasket showed no issues. Before reinstalling, I decided to have the head shaved. I have flat top pistons.
I did a test on the head to see if it had been shaved beore. No stampings from a machine shop. I did a test to see the amount of space in the combustion chambers in the head. I have 275cc which indicated the head not been shaved before.
I think I can shave 35 Thousands and the valves should not hit it.
I have been told about diametric opinions ranging from much greater power, to none.
Suggestions?
