...are you sure? is this replacement also an SOHC? did you measure the sprockets? number of teeth? diameter? the oil passages? the coolant passages? placement of the high voltage components? if all seems to pan out like a flatbread would go ahead with it~

point is to increase compression? to have a DOHC in place of a SOHC?...really unaware of how changing the head will increase you potential....missed that meeting...you might have to spell it out for me~
