Head measurements?

29th September 2009, 12:28

Hi any one know the head measurements for the vts?
Eg the standard height for the head and themaximum it can be skimmed before you get issues? Thanks brad

new head is 135.00mm from face to face.

skimming depends on the engine, cams, pistons, h/g, compression ratio bowl shape etc....

my advice is only skim it as little as possible to make it true, and dont use it as a way to increase CR, the performance gain you will notice will be marginal

what is the minimum height with pt50's does anyone know?

PT50s are very mild so aslong as you stay to OEM spec it will be fine. usualy heads have wear markers on them

have a look for markers on the head. and again you have to make sure you have the correct size gasket
