Thanks for the welcome back, lads. Having someone else's bone marrow/immune system can be a bit of a chore at times. Not complaining tho.. at least Im here to talk about it.

I emailed a few places. Only one has machining ability, he said theres no need to center and dowel the head, they just machine the bowel deep and wide enough to avoid piston hitting it. Also said he sees these old head domes sometimes machined off center to begin with.

I need to find what my squish is before deciding if its even worth it. I think I like the idea of having it done more than the HP Id gain. I only bomb around town and it has plenty power for that.

I'll get the VAPE programmer eventually and put in a safe curve. I really liked the extra pull when I had the HPI on it. Gear it to drop rpms a bit and will call it a day. I think 500 rpm less.. just to settle the bike a little.
