Re: Head Gaskets?
I did think about that but i know people use to say (well on two strokes anyway) that the intake should be like that as it makes the fuel/air mixture mix better?
To be honest i always though the carb did that, but who knows?
Definatley needs a very good clean out on the exhaust side of things, polish the head and valves too me thinks :D

Re: Head Gaskets?
I always thought that you are supposed to smooth out the ports to increase airflow as a rough surface will decrease air flow just what i remember from my mini modding days. Also blueprinting is the way forward.

Re: Head Gaskets?
Thanks for that, the only difference is the little bits that stick out and have the brass inserts, any idea what they are for?
