So recently I've been showing interest in the possibility of purchasing a high compression head in the future... with this interest comes an internal conflict. Obviously the high compression head will increase power but what the are the negative affects of doing this or are there any (such as increased bearing wear). If increased bearing wear is a prevalent problem then is it advised to only up grade to 5:5:1 head as opposed to purchasing the 6:1 head that will clearly provide much more power for only $30 more.
