Default Re: combustion chamber design

Brian I have found each time I opened up the combustion chamber to assist in unshrouding the valves performance improved. How one goes about doing this will vary depending on how brave one gets. Now when it comes to the flathead the word economy has no place. My time spent with the many flatheads I have been involved with the one thing that's pretty consistent the more hydro carbons feed the better the engines would run.
