The head is back from the shop - new valves, valve guides and a skim were in order.

Barrel was also given a rebore to +20 and matched to my low compression Tiger pistons.

I'm now pondering on whether to get the head stove enamelled black like the rocker covers, cylinders and crankcases or to leave 'au naturelle'.

I'm not bothered much with the thermal efficiency argument - I live in England after all not SoCal or the Antipodes.

Any thoughts??
