Skimming head

[DaviesDJ]

Hi guys

4.7 rebuild now going great guns - have extensively de-shrouded the enlarged intakes - which has taken the CR down a little bit.

I am keen for compression on this build as it has a custom cam with more overlap.

So - standard 40thou skim was the plan - but out of curiosity how much can be skimmed in you guys experience before you get bolt fitting issues?? Timing cover and injector issues??

Best wishes

Dave

Useful info!

You all may be horrified - but I think a smaller o-ring may be useful on the manifold to injector. As a pressure seal isn’t really required here - just enough to prevent a significant vacuum leak

Not entirely sure - but would simply size up a thinner o ring or even a Teflon seal to sit the injectors in
