How would cutting a RPM 340 head kill any flow? Have you actulay seen one of those heads?
Im not saying that im perfectly confident that those heads will take it without problems but that option should atleast be taken a good look at before taking any more steps.
My opinion is that positive deck engines are stupid,unless we are talking about an engine that requires a domepiston then they are just alitle less stupid and its quite obvious that theRPM340 heads are an aftertought.
