    gx340 - 390 cylinder heads ?

    hmm so if i am aiming for around 9:5:1 compression or 10:1 should i take it down to the first cooling fin ? This engine may end up on a mini but will be in a small one seater go kart first. Just building something for fun but I like maximum performance

    gx340 - 390 cylinder heads ?

    Shaving .100 off the head would increase my compression from factory to what ? around 9:5:1 10:1 ? also I can't seem to find an aftermarket 340 flat top piston. Should I have it bored out to 390 or will the factory piston work on a billet rod ?
