Another "recommend a cylinder head?" thread!

Thanks for the nod YR. I did it on the wife's car. I know the future of the engine. The "now" of the engine is another story.

The wife drives a Nissan Rouge 4 cyl. For what it is, it's not bad. When she wanted something with power, I say fine. I'm not handing her a vehicle of half the weight and 5 times the power off the bat.

So I dropped the compression with the small cam in use. Comp cam;
XE274 HR (224/230 @.050)

For everyone, do the math....

Zero deck .030-360, 63cc Edelbrock heads. .038 X 4.1 gasket = ....

Change head gasket to a .075 X 4.04 to get ......

See the drop?

The head gasket will get thinner later with a bigger cam and if need be, a head milling to raise the bar some more.

You might not want to run that small cam in a near 11-1 engine. Not the best idea IMO. Pump gas is a best of 93 rated. Actual may vary some! LMAO!
