He found that you had to machine the head to get the clearances right as there aren't the increments required in the shimless buckets and if you are starting with fresh gear and any gaps close up after 500km or so you are stuffed. The weight savings are minimal. In short he ended up scrapping the entire head. Put it down to R&D
Try the shimless conversion as that has been done on Gen IIs using Gen III gear or just use the whole 205 head

This is the shimless conversion.
The Gen3 is shim under bucket, the Gen2 is shim over bucket.
I just realised that the cams and head have already been removed from that Gen2 engine I got from you so I'll weigh those suckers tonight.
99% likeliness is that I'll write off this idea too, but I figure I've gone this far so I might as well get the measurements to compare.
