iceracer, i did pull the jug and checked it the same way i did the head, because like i said there was a small wobble in the head so i did want to check the jug. i know this thing is getting hot. thats why i was debating on goin to a 20 cc dome. its tough trying to keep the old lt competive on the mx track with the 450's cause they can ride the whole track in 3rd and never have to shift. where i try to keep up mometom up in the corners and run most the time wfo. i was doing some math and if i use the new gasket thats thicker my squish goes from .046 to .062 i also did notice the dome seemed to be recesed in the head slightly, so when i pulled the dome out i lapped the head down now its flush or just slightly out, just catch the side of it with you finger nail not enough to get feeler gauges under though. what you think about a bowl up grade like this
