Probably very true Carl.
One has to question if raising compression by adding a 848 head or decking the block/milling the head is really the right choice and will be fruitful? Especially when you take a good hard look on how the cylinder head was designed and the way mixture flows in and gas flows out. To me it is like lipstick on a pig in a way, trying to make it into something it was never meant to be.
