seeing that all 4age's are a non interferance engine I doubt it would change anything. Otherwise a good point. I wonder how much the wear rate would increase from 10.5:1 to 11.5:1?
I think you slightly missed my point - what I mean is that as you start machining the cylinder head, the edges of the combustion chamber will start to 'shrink' (as it is shaped like a dome) and you will most likely get (very quickly) to a point where you will be machining back the valve seats etc as the combustion chamber has shrunk to a point where the valves no longer 'fit in' to the shape.
